B Loop O/heat

I was once called to an aircraft that had a single loop engine o/heat indication, only to discover one of the welds locating a thermocouple housing had failed and the thermocouple had been blown out, leaving a 2” diameter hole in the casing. The other loop was not indicating an overheat, despite the amount of hot gas that must have been escaping with the engine running.

To have suffered an Elect - Drive and an Overheat warning on the same engine and not request mx to take a look - I find surprising.
