Good Day Wheeeezy9,

There is no issue if the cooler is not leaking. You just got lucky it didn't not break. Keep riding and watch for the rocks

I'd run it until at least the end of the season since it's not leaking. Trying to change it now would probably put you out of riding for at least one weekend. It's a major job to change one of those.

I wouldn't even worry about changing it as long as all the green stuff stays inside where it's supposed to. I got some nasty lookin fins in mine from climbing a burnt stump but I ain't worried.

Run it another 6k miles.
Seriously, If its not leaking, its not a problem. Just keep am eye on it. If it leaks, then u can worry about it. I doubt it will leak without another impact.

If ur realy worried. Let it idle till the temp light stays on. That will create the most pressure and any possibility of leaking will happen then.
