Oh man, I had no idea! Fortunately, the leak is more of a sweating than a full blown leak at the moment so Ill drain and fill with distilled water, and do that every few days for the next month or so to really flush the system, then order a new radiator and go with the green stuff.

Also going to call Entropy tomorrow and see what they say about normal expected voltage readings across the radiator. I've ready anything above .1 volts is cause for concern but other also said above .3 volts or above .5 volts. So who knows at this point.
