Ok I checked today, Gotta leak coming from the (Gooseneck?? (Where the Lower radiator hose meets right under the intake manifold.))
It's not the Radiator hose that's leaking, but the one right next to it attached to the same piece.
The hose isn't getting a good grip because the fitting is rusted out from the inside =\ (Pretty bad huh?)
The hose is pretty old so I'm going to try buying a new one, and if that doesn't work, replace the whole piece.
Also do you know offhand where to find written instructions on jumping the relay to make the fan run anytime the key is turned?
Thanks

First, fix all leaks. You can take those metal parts off of a junked car. There is the aluminum thermostat housing (2 pieces) and a steel water pipe (painted black) that goes across the back of the engine. Then of course fill the system with a proper mixture of coolant, not plain water.
To make the fan run all the time, unplug the thermal switch on the thermostat housing (right at the end of the lower radiator hose) and use a small wire to connect the two pins in the plug on the car side. Strip the ends of the wire and push one end into each of the two pin sockets in the plug. The fan should now start immediately when you turn the key on. If it doesn't, check the fan motor, and the fuse and relay in the fuse box near the battery.
