Hey John:
Part of the maintenance schedule is to pull the bumpers and radiator covers to clean them out as "solids" (leaves, cig butts, BIG bugs, etc...) fill up the inlets. Unlike a regular car, there is no place for solids to dry and fall out.
When doing the maintenance, I found a radiator leak, blowing a micro pinstream of coolant forward towards the condenser. You can see the dark area on the condenser.
Seems like every drive causes a NASA type prep for launch.
And NASA type cost...
