<VV> 64 Engine in 65 / Oil leaks

[Frank DuVal]

Most every aluminum core radiator I have seen has no paint on the core, 
just aluminum color. Aluminum fins on A/C condensers in cars I have seen 
black and plain. Aluminum condensers in home units are typically not 
painted, just plain. Maybe the condensers in cars are painted for 
corrosion protection only?
