.....which is why they call it preventative maintenence!! if you flush the 
radiator according to the manufacturer's intervals, it won't leak like that. 
BUT if you let it go until "yup, it's pretty bad", then yes you will have 
these kinds of problems. i can't believe how many people there are out there 
who wait until it's 'too late', and then they shake their heads when bad 
things happen afterward. 

the truth is, if you flush it on time, the fluid won't look like mud and it 
will probably still have adequate protection. but you are preventing the 
build-up of the stuff that gets flushed away and causes leaks!

my 2 cents..
