After buttoning up the engine I had a few drips of coolant coming from the front of the engine. Wanted to share my patented weep finding trick. Rather than running the engine up to temp and poking around a hot engine, I use a tyre compressor to pressurise the system. I have an old hose with a Schrader valve fitted in one end...
If you're going to do this, pressurise the system slowly or the pressure relief valve in the cap keeps blowing. Also keep it below 1 bar. The pressure relief valve should prevent over pressure, but better to be safe and keep an eye open.
I had a weep at both ends of my lower rad hose
