I was never able to pinpoint the leak location directly, but there's a fair chance it was the y connector from the thermostat. It's a very common thing to leak so I ordered a new one. The only part Advance carries is a metal version which is an upgrade, so I ordered that. When it arrived, it did not seal properly on the upper radiator hose (which has an o ring you can't service), so I ordered a new upper hose and an OEM plastic Y connector. I think the aftermarket connector would have worked with the new upper hose, but I didn't want to risk it. Got those replaced quickly and cleaned the interior. Drove it around for the first time in what feels like months and it seems to be doing fine. [Image: 1e346f32fd39125fe0877bc9dbbcd82a.jpg]
