Well, when I took it for a drive today, I noticed some steam coming out behind me when I took off from a stop. It looks like the small hose coming off the top of the thermostat housing is leaking a little. Is there a way to seal it better the hose is new, and I didn't want to tighten it too much and damage the pipe coming out of the housing? I haven't cleaned up the coolant that is on the top of the block yet so some of the steam is from the leftover coolant.
