If it's got bumps the inner core is defective. I'd replace it ASAP!Originally Posted by slickster

GAME OVER, YOU LOSE!
Time for a replacement. I can guarantee if you don't it will burst at night, in the rain, on a highway with narrow shoulders, far from home.

I'm not sure how old it is I just got the car. I will take pics of it later

That tube needs changing out ASAP!
Maybe start a "Want To Buy" thread?
There is a possibility someone on here has one laying around that they can afford to part with?
Worth a try...
Good luck and keep us posted.

Wow when was the last time the cooling system was flushed?
Might be a good idea before new crossover pipe is installed to flush the system several times to get all the debris out.
Good luck and hopefully no further damage or problems are discovered.

That is just cosmetic damage, but you will NEVER get the Fill hole/air bleeder to open that's for sure so a replacment is in your future
