I have had three overflow tanks and all of them have leaked/failed? What do I do?

If this is on an MCS, get the fixed one that doesn't leak.

You should be fine then.

Make sure that:

1) Dealer is doing the job correctly

2) Dealer is installing the newly revised overflow tanl (Has yellowish appearance due to the stronger plastic used)

3) Go to a different dealer if possible.
