Coolant reserve tank leaking and causing corrosion

[cr0mster]

Hi all,

It seems my coolant reserve tank has been leaking and is causing corrosion. I plan to get it replaced but I wanted to get opinions if I should worry about the build up on the rest of the engine bay? Photo is attached.

What corrosion are you talking about? On the spark plug covers? That's a plastic trim.I don't see anything out of the ordinary apart from getting a new reservoir

It looked like corrosion but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the tip. I don't know my way around the engine to well yet so I am glad to know that it is probably just dried up coolant.

Yea that's all it is. My recommendation is just clean everything up and see if it comes back. If it does, then replace coolant reservoir if necessary.
