When I asked you to check for corrosion and possible leaks, I should
have told you that you must remove the heat sinks and liquid cooling
system to check for leaks around the "O" rings of the heat sinks.
You
cannot see it unless you remove the G5 CPU boards from the computer.
Wow, lot of work. :-|
When I did my check, I just removed the metal plate covering the
CPUs/Heat
sinks (the one with "G5" on it). If there was any significant leak,
there
should have been at least some trace on the "floor" plate below the
CPUs
(and there wasn't any).
OTOH, taking from what John Carmonne said, if my G5 hasn't leaked
anything
yet, is probably the one having the (better) Panasonic LCS.

Apple had two different LCS's in the G5 PM 2.7 the Delphi (single

pretty sure to leak and need to be rebuilt the other LCS was made
by Panasonic
(two pumps) that AFAIK never has leaked yet.
John, is there any easy way to tell which LCS I have on my G5?
I don't know anything about pumps :-) but I think there should be some
sticker or sign telling the manufacturer, somewhere...
Or, maybe, you can infere it from Serial number?
The easy way is to look at it with the G5 cover off and if it has
copper tubes it's a Panasonic.
The top of the processor has the name also you can send me a pic off-
list and I can tell you.
Plus not all the Delphi's will leak but it's a real problem with these
machines if you need one
rebuilt you can do it your self or Brian at DT&T will do it cheap.
