I thought you were a hand surgeon(?) --> which would mean if they have finally released you into the wild you couldn't be comparatively young...
anyway, back in ye olden days cars used to die from cooling system leaks all the time - one reason the better off people bought a new car every 3 to 5 years. I guess the rubber compounds and radiator solder (when did they stop soldering those thing?) would not last long.
I saw cars pooped out with big clouds of steam on every hwy grade in the west while exploring in my youth. So, I expect the quasi-religious devoltion to Bars and other automotive tonics started there.
Personally, I am devoted to "The Racer's Edge"!
