Thanks guys. While you were posting, I took it out, about 4 miles each way and looked for the exact source of the leak with insp. mirror and light upon return. Had been hoping for seepage past poorly applied hose clamp, but no such luck. There is a small crack in the driver's side radiator tank, on the inboard side of the base of the big fitting for the driver's side hose (to thermostat housing). Seepage is just that for now, but decided that it stays parked for its own good until new parts arrive sometime next week.

Steve R. Thanks for mentioning the heater valve, I'd have forgotten about that if you hadn't brought it up. Will order one of those too so can do it all at once.

Will also buy 75KPa cap. Do you think it will be enough to prevent any danger to the cooling system or engine here, in Florida, in the summer with up to three people and three Great Danes on board? In other words, carrying heavy load, hot load (dog's normal temp is about 102 deg.) on hot Florida day with A/C running at max?

On the up side, all the hoses are virtually brand new :)
