Pics of Leaky Intercooler Symptoms

Thought I would share photos my leaky intercooler aftermath. I kept getting the low coolant warning over and over and finally took the plunge and bought a new IC. After cleanup and new IC + C3P reservoir, performance was restored. I didnt realize how much it was suffering and this was 3 months ago - Dont ignore the warning... Enjoy!
