Finally had some free time to pressure up the cooling system and it appears there is a leak (wont hold pressure)...
I did though, initially found some coolant leaks, although these leaks were not the final fix...
First leak found was the upper coolant hose-to-tstat housing...
Pressured up the system to 15 PSI and found the old stock snap style hose clamp was leaking...
After that one was swapped for a regular hose clamp, I pressured it up again finding the lower heater core hose clamp was leaking (also original style snap hose clamp) --
(The following video is after the clamp was loosened, although it was seen leaking before clamp loosening)

This one was tricky since the drip was falling onto the firewall "fabric/insulation" stuff and was never making it to the ground (soaking it up)...
So I swapped both heater core clamps with regular screw type.
The lower one slipped right off, while the upper one wouldn't budge...
So instead of forcing the hose off and possibly damaging the end of the heater core, I just slipped back the old clamp and opened up a new one around the hose and tightened it down (notice the old clamp!)
After tightening those clamps down and topping off the coolant and re-pressurizing the system, it appears there is still a leak going on...
I'm gonna take a guess and believe the leak is under the SC...
I might re-torque the SC down once more and pressure it up before I take off the SC again...
If I take the SC off, should I re-torque the LIM or will that break the RTV seal?
I'll keep the thread updated as I progress...
Thanks...
