I should have taken a picture of the inside of the block when i first opened it. All the metalic "ooz" never left the cpu block. It was all collected inside of the spiral channel of the base copper portion which most likely accelerated the galavantic corrotion. I would have discovered it sooner but I striped one of the allen screws when i was first trying to get it open a few onths ago. I eventually used a dremel to cut a line into the screw so i could use a flat head.
