Hey fellas. I thought you'd like to see how well the stock Opti units store water. In April (5 months ago....) I had a coolant hose fail and it sprayed everything under the hood, including the opti. Today, I removed the cap to find a puddle still there. Here's the shot:

You'd think after 5 months it would have dried out. There was a lot of corrosion on the terminals. And here's the new MSD unit:

I'm anxious to have everything back together and running soon.....

 

Is this MSD new unit more sealed than the original
or are you subject to the same resolve?

 

Sealed enough to keep water IN but not enough to keep it OUT......thank you GM!

 

Wow Eggster! What a nightmare!!!! Guess that's a case of $hit happens...

Hope you get her remedied and back on road to your satisfaction quickly.

(also thanks for a reminder to continue timely inspections of hoses/connections.)

 

Thats because of the vacuum that is created by not having two drain ports.
