Each of the MFTS I have received has signs of experiencing a coolant  
leak.  I took two apart and the electronics is fine.  The contacts on  
the connector had coolant corrosion but this cleaned up easily with  
Contac-Renu.  My guess is that the copper washer fails after some  
time and a very small leak occurs (2 reservoir inches per year).   
Does anyone have a source for compression copper washers like these?   
Must be a generic metric part.

(The electronics inside the MFTS contains an active analog chip.   
Simple resistance checks at the connector are not likely to be  
conclusive.)
