It happens whenever I use my computer for prolonged periods like few hours and/or when I task the CPU/GPU with with lots of application and processes. Upon a restart the computer works fine again until the next few hours or so. I have the Merom/Santa Rosa model with 4GBs of RAM but I have heard Penryn MB and MBP owners experiencing this same issue too. I have called up Apple Support three times and I have done whatever they told me to do aka running Apple hardware test and using a different account, heck I have even re-installed Leopard but still the problem persists. I am assuming that it is Software related but I would like to know if any of you guys have encountered this problem?
Apart from this appears to be some kind of liquid leaking from the crevice of the battery latch. It is not from the battery but appears to be coming from inside the computer. I have ran a check on Google and found out that it was in fact a processor coolant. There have been claims by those who open up the MB and MBP; that excessive amounts of this liquid has been placed inside the computer. I don't know if this is the case in my MB as I have not opened it up but I do notice excessive heat coming from it. The heat goes around 65-70C which is around a few hours of operation or when a few applications are open and running simultaneously. This is probably when the fan kicks in and goes off after a short moment.
I am beginning to think that the glitch and leaks are interrelated caused by the same thing and that being heat build up inside the case.
