I have a feeling mine will NEVER dry out...it sat under 25deg sun 2 full
days during the weekend, and the damn thing is still heavy with coolant,
slowly dripping...

If somebody can tell me what this stuff is and how to get it, I'd probably
remove fridge/stove + carpet and see if there is more to be found that is
damp (and possibly helping rust to proliferate...)
