The unit is still fully functional as it heats my engine to 200F in just under 10 minutes, any ideas?

any factory cutouts on your cooling head with sharp edges in the area of damage ? dremil them smoother (must check mine while i'm thinking of it )
what voltage have u set on the output of the power supply ? needs to be 11.1 - 11.5v
what voltage are u charging the gel cell to ? needs to be 12-12.5v max to extend the life of the heater not 13.8v as some are saying
i've used mine daily at these settings for 3 months without any issues what so ever
