can this canister be harmed by brown-colored water like my avatar? or is it watertight? I too noticed that box the other day. I thought the gov't had a gps tracking device in there and were tracking my ****.

I don't know if the one under the tail is watertight... But the one under the hood is not and can be harmed by that brown water stuff... or leaking coolant(as its right underneath the heater valve)... The stuff inside will fill up with water and cause it to fail...
