Looks like something didnt survive the winter

So it's been pretty dry up here for the past few days and I thought i would take the M50 turbo out,
just to stretch its legs and get everything moving/warm etc after being tucked away for the past 4 months,

But when i came back I noticed a little puddle of water under the car




I had a look under the bonnet and the bottom of the expansion tank was wet






and on closer inspection, it actually looks like it's pushed/forced/moved it's self upwards




is it just me or is that gap a bit excessive ?

The gap seems to get bigger as it goes towards the chassis leg way,
it's hard trying to get a better picture as the oil cooler pipes are in the way

That looks exactly what I'd expect from frost damage! Been skimping on the antifreeze?
Take the top bracket off and remove the tank from the radiator. There's a large O ring that seals the joint.
