It is hard to tell from the pix. I have seen them erode. There is much at stake as you know. You can take a soft brass brush to them to see if the stuff comes off and see if any erosion has occurred.

This is my area of expertise (hair, skin, nails). The fluid building up contains bacteria.You have an infection building up. you don't want it to go through the blood. Some of the dead nail needs to be trimmed away, and properly drained. (heard the drainage can come out like a shot from a gun). Best to have it tended by a doc,it's going to get BLACK, and be very painful, and you need a pain & anti- biotic. It may take 7-8 mos for nail to grow back. I took MY toenail off when I was 7, playing with an umbrella, thumping it on the floor, with the LONG pointy metal part. It all depends on the medulla of the nail.(white half moon at the base of nail, where new growth starts)
Hope it feels better soon.

The outsides aren't corroding. It's nothing more than deposits from the minerals in the water you're running in. bead blast them and check the surface for flaws or erosion.
I made up a quick fitting to flush & test coolers. It connects to the 1" water hose at the shop. If I don't get strong outflow, they're gone.
You can pressure test them yourself with an air hose and a regulator. Set the regulator for 50% over your max oil pressure. I slide them into a 6" dia section of steel pipe. If they pop, you can get hurt. Never get close to them when pressurized with air.

Did it damage the oil pan?
That is the important question......

I did the same thing to my big toe about 10 years ago. Working at Lowes at the time and had a bifold closet door come out of the box and land on my foot. Literaly the one day I wasn't wearing steel toes because I was heading to the river straight from work. It bled through my sock and the toe of my Nike while the customer was still asking dumb azz questions about the door. The nail still isn't right....

did the same thing yearssssssssssss ago... dropped a 40# concrete block on my big toe... dammm that hurt..... anyways tried to forget about it, went to sleep and woke up at 2 am in immense pain, went to ER and they drilled a hole and the blood hit the ceiling from so much pressure, and this was less than 10 hours after it happened.... sure felt better.... bone was broken also so they popsicle sticked it with tape for 6 weeks.... took about 6-8 months for nail to heal and the toe still ain't right to this day...

I guess Il throw my dumbass attack story in. One time I was welding some bolster frames while wearing flip flops (dont bother..) At one point I stood up, turned and took a step right into a fresh cut edge of the other frame. It pretty much ripped the whole inside of my big toe, nail and all wide open. God damn did that hurt.

As a medical professional with well over a decade of treating trauma, both minor and major, my professional medical advice is to not drop things on your foot again.
a. it hurts
b. it causes damage
pain and damage are things to avoid, so is hopping on one foot screaming GOD DAMN MUTHERFUKIN SON OF A B!TCH IT FUKING HURTS!! so loud that the dog hides under the bed and wont come out for a week.
I may not be from Jersey, but I can promise you this, if you do not listen to me, there will be pain in your future.

ok... this is the single most worst thing i have ever done to my foot at this point in my life. ive had some pretty bad pains in my life but this has proven to be the top on the list on foot injuries for me. its drained some weird bloody fluid for the last 4 days and i have now ruined 3 pairs of socks... the pain is sharp when i walk but throbbing when im sitting. i spend about 12 hours a day on my feet and about 2 hours of desk time. the only shoes that fit halfway comfortably are my yard shoes (old white nike that stained a weird greenish brown color) ive got some very important business meeting the next few days (hope they like my shoes).... damn this hurts!

Serosanguineous drainage. take tylenol, not aspirin. ice untill it stops building pressure than moist heat/warmth. if it's swollen hard, not squishy you need to see a doc, as you may be developing compartment syndrome in your toe, and without intervention you will loose it.
