Keep those udders clean - it can prevent a number of problems as explained in the links provided above.

Default I am amazed

that this thread has not yet run off the rails with some fun.
Actually, using the udders was a rather elegant and creative, that is for GM, application from the dairy industry by a senior GM engineer who owned a dairy farm on the side. I swear that is the truth! Rumor is he or she needed a tax shelter.
We always kept the 100 head herds's udders clean, so that we would have utterly no leaks! I think it is mentioned in one of the three Corvette service manuals as a necessary 6 month PM, more frequently if you park under trees.
I am udderly, or is it utterly exhausted? Sudden urge to get a glass of ice-cold milk.

I cut the bottom of my udders open to let more crap out. They can build up quick if you are like me and leave the car outside.

Just cleaned mine while I was installing lights in my fender coves.
Not something you really think of but they do build up with goop.

I cleaned mine out last year for the first time ever on the car I'm pretty sure based on how much crap was in them (I'm 2nd owner). Wow were they packed full of crud. On a side note, the lower side vents on the c5z's pick up a shitload of crap that falls back down into the rocker panels. I pulled like 5 lbs of gravel and dirt out of mine, no exaggeration...
