"I came across your page regarding G5 Coolant Leaks/Repairs and I currently have my dual 2.5GHz G5 tower in for repair for that very problem.
Not knowing the history of this issue, when my G5 died and I tried in vain to determine the problem, I gave up and brought in into the local Apple Genius Bar. When I plopped it on the table I only then noticed the green liquid oozing all over the lower handles. (The G5 coolant leaks/repairs page has a note (in red) about checking for leaks frequently (disconnect AC power first), including tilting the case towards you to check for fluid if there's no evidence of a leak from an initial visual check. If there's any leak present, stop using it.-Mike) The tech looked at it, opened the case, then brought into the back for further investigation. When he came out, he said they will replace the MotherBoard, Pwr Supply, CPUs and a few other things. Parts costs totaling $2,000, but they told me they will replace all of it at no charge.

I was blinking my wide eyes in disbelief that Apple is giving me essentially the guts of a new G5 after 4 years of faithful service, but knowing a good thing when I heard it, uttered not a single complaint and signed the repair order. (No, I wasn't asked to sign a NDA nor were there any other discussions or comments regarding this issue.)
All I can say that Apple definitely but pleasantly surprised the heck out of me! I'm just waiting for the call to pick up my "new" computer! :)

I had a 2nd owner (bought used) write his G5 tower was leaking coolant - anyone that wasn't an original owner tried to get a repair covered? (if so let me know.)
