I know almost nothing about watercooling. But if you were to take what is in a car and your pipes break and its CONDUCTIVE you out of luck.

Plus certain fluids might corrode your pump.

hmmm.... I would dump that thing ASAP and build a custom setup where there's a far less likely chance of it leaking.

Um, use Water Cooling coolant, not your car.. I hear its too strong, and kills the plastic tubing.

Automotive coolant is fine. Mix in a 10 or 11 to one ratio. Heck pentosin is VW Blue auto coolant.
