if you get a Fluidyne ( steeda) then you have to run diffrent coolent in it. The pink colored kind or it might leak in colder weather. Threads on leaking fluidynes pop up every now and then but they always seem to be related to cold temps or not using the pink colored coolent.

WHOA!!!! So thats why my Fluidyne cracked????? I was told that its because I didn't use distilled water. i was gonna use distilled water when I got it fixed.

well it still may have been b/c of that, Im not a fluidyne expert but seems like everyone of them that leaks its either cold weather related or there not using the pink fluid. I dont think ive seen to many w/ probs that were in warm weather and using the proper coolent.
