Wow, they either didnt know it could be replaced or they went to the dealer and were told it was like $1000.

Did you steal that from my garbage can!...The PO on mine did the exact same thing....

I have an assumption that the PO took it to a mechanic and they simply pasted it together.

What the hell? You can't use peanut butter to fix an expansion tank! You need to use fluff man!
