Which/what box -- the coolant expansion tank? If so, yes, clean or replace. Sometimes the o-ring doesn't seal when replacing, so prolly should ask Bus Depot for a new O-ring first. They also sell the probe assembly for fairly cheap ( ~$10?).

Of course, if your expansion tank is actually half empty, then the little boy is not crying wolf after all...
