Well shit. I turned it more and it gushed out fluid. It's still dripping even after taking the bolt off. Looks like i definitely need a new one now.

Since you are in the market now, consider the dmceu aluminum rad. It is a very nice unit, very well built. With an aluminum rad and your new cooling fans overheating will not be a concern. It dropped my cruising temps roughly 15F.
It's what I'm going to go with. I was offered one shortly after posting this thread and it's cheaper than the alternatives right now.
The only change I would make is to have Ed check the "taxes will be paid by shipper" when sending to the US.
Taxes will never be charged to him because nothing this small ever gets a duty. $800 is the threshold but it's still uncommon for individuals to be charged.
Sometimes if Fedex sees that taxes are to be paid by addressee, they will pay a duty on your behalf and then charge a fee for paying it. It's like a $3 duty plus a $15 fee or some such nonsense. They will drop the charge if you call and argue about it, which is what makes the whole thing super sketchy. This happened to someone else and I thought they were pulling my leg until it happened to me.
Regardless it's totally worth any minor hassle as it's a great product.
