G5's Leaking Coolant!

I knew I was right on the money to avoid the liquid cooled 2.7 Ghz G5's
Symptoms are wide-ranged but will include fans spinning wildly, machines shutting down when they heat up, greenish liquid leaking from the case, and if you are able to look, crystalized liquid forming where the CPU meets the heatsink as well as corrosion of all the metal surrounding the CPU module.
Anyone, and I mean anyone who has done ANY kind of work on a car knows full well that cooling/heating systems will leak. For an internal combustion engine that comes with the territory but a computer, for which I may have my entire business running on...a completely avoidable situation. Never should have been produced.
