I had a first gen cyclops that lasted 15 years before I sold it (got fat and did not want to spin in the winter). It never leaked.

50 is young. Metastasized cancer is a killer. Poor guy went down fighting, but it was in his intestines, pancreas, lungs and throat. He was a real character that gave a lot to the sport. Very sad.
