So as most of you know, I've been fighting with my pressurization system in my 680FP for some time.  Over the last few days I've really dug in hard to push it on over the hump.  The last few days I've really been wondering when the last time the radiator on the heat exchanger had been checked.  Since the scoop on top has a direct link down to the front and you can't see anything that was there.

I'm figuring bees, birds, grass and the like is most likely down there waiting on me.  Yeah, like birds can screw shit up more than a man can :-)

Check out what I found as words can't do it justice!

WOW!! 
Who would have thought. 
Clearly you are one hell of a good diagnostician.
Between inheriting the painting paper and all the dumb things the first shop did... you are well on  your way to a PhD in 680FP engineering.

Honestly, I was too, Goes to show mother nature can't compete with Man when it comes to screwing things up.

Wow, just crazy how it pretty much embedded itself right onto the radiator.
