Bummer. When I pulled mine out (not because of a leak) it was about half
full of sediment. It also had swelled to the point that the fan blades were
bound up. I flushed and pounded and flushed and pounded to get as much of
the sediment out as I could (still didn't get it all) and then compressed it
back into shape and the heater works just fine (or did until I took the car
apart some years later - the never ending project) Still no leaks.
