I have messed with the coolant system a little for a veg conversion i have not used yet, but those two joints are leakless. I replaced the thermostat 2 months ago. And the monovalve 1 month ago.

Any suggestions?
Which side? ...Can you tell....I would suspect heater hoses, heater valve,? (pass side) Its not up where it could be the water pump, right?
