Peeking under our '87 2WD the other day, I noticed that the driver's side
coolant pipe near the engine tin has some of its outer skin flaked off,
presumably from long-term exposure to the exhaust right underneath.

Is this a typical rupture point for a coolant line?  I.e. should I replace it
at my convenience, not when I'm some place far from home?
