Took off the plastic cover, found a little surprise in my behind my bumper

Any thoughts on this? Must have been installed by a previous owner, I never knew it was there and I'm sure if the seller knew he would have mentioned it when I bought the car. Should I move it? Can I disconnect those hose lines to clean it/move it without spilling fluid everywhere? Should I just leave it? It doesnt seem like it has any ability to correctly function wedged in there like that.

You will lose some fluid. Put a drain pan under the car and remove it.

Also mount it in a better place

It looks like the hoses may be leaking on you now.I agree on cleaning/relocating it for better airflow.At least it's a plate type cooler that's better at heat dispersal.
