Activate as in arming the system, not making it go off. And I already have some mortars for my mobile celebration.

well with 4,000,000 miles what do you expect?
can you tell if it's tranny fluid or motor oil? maybe grease that got hot and has thinned out?

Back to the dealership: 6200miles
This time its a poor fitting airbox that came loose and ate 1/4 of the way through my upper radiator hose.

so wait, its a poorly fitting fastener that came loose, or does the airbox fit so poorly it loosened itself up?

Its the front part of the air intake tube - basically the silencer part that attaches to the radiator support. Its a 3-part plastic assembly that snaps together. The 2 main parts fit so poorly they became unattached, allowing the part attached to the air intake tube to rub against the radiator hose. The top cover piece was laying upside down in the middle of the silencer assembly. Horrible design.

I might tape it or insulate the radiator hose (after the dealership replaces the old hose and pieces.)
This is also a great excuse to install a CAI
