this may sound off the wall but what type of coolant are you running in the cooling system?
I know in the automotive applications they run dexcool in thier cooling systems and and have seen it in some lifttrucks as well, dexcool has a tendency to eat up the gaskets. I know of many occasions i have seen tech bulletins about the corrosive nature of dexcool and the effect it has causing constant leaks from gasket sealing areas etc.

just a thought to pass along

Fact of the week
The first practical visible-spectrum LEDs were red, not white. The red colour was the easiest to produce using the semiconductor materials available at the time (the 1960s). The alloy gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) used emitted red light.
