1996 has the gear clamps and these need to be re-tightened as the rubber has relaxed under the clamps and the clamping pressure is low. Tighten them all, find near the end of the head, remove TB cover and small hoses at the TB. Also as the reservoir.
The pump may be leaking at the pump-to-block adapter o-rings. Those get hard from time+heat and no longer seal. Many replace DIY, but it is reasonably difficult. At this time, replace the lower rad hose, t-stat and flush coolant. Many will also replace the heater hoses as these seem to have a well deserved reputation.
As for the tank, the original green/bue coolant put deposits in these and the level is then almost unreadable.
