YACT: Anyone ever had, or heard of, a plastic coolant overflow tank get a pinhole leak?

[Shockwave]

I've had alot of hoses go bad, but never the plastic overflow tank get a pinhole leak. I've had alot of little problems spring up since taking it to a dealership, and I'm starting to think they were gunnin for a little extra "maintenance and repair" work from me.
So, anyone had this happen?

I've personally never seen that happen, but who am I to say that it can't?

Then again, maybe they really did prick your tank with a needle.

nope. think you should be able to patch it easy though. Not pressurized.

Already did. JB Weld > pinhole leaks

The line from the top of the radiator to the overflow tank on my honda civic has been broken for about 100K miles ... I just check the level once in awhile and it's fine, but everytime a "mechanic" gets near it they start crowing that I have to fix it (which would likely mean replacing the radiator), or my car will die.

Of course my STBX is taking that car, so it'll be her problem soon
:evil:

Yes, I have seen several tanks go bad. I had one customer refuse the repair stating "There still is coolant in the radiator." Two weeks later the wife has the car towed in for a seized engine, cause by a lack of coolant. The husband didn't even come to pick it up.
