Mine leaked at the "thermostatic valve", the brass fitting with two pipes
at the bottom of the matrix. There are only two bolts that hold that on, but there is a long copper wire sensor that is looped around the top of
the housing that requires getting inside and pulling the floor boards bak
to release. That you will have to do if you take the matrix out for a chek.
I didn't reloop it when I put it bak in, so the next time all I have to do
is undo the two bolts to get the thermostatic valve out. First I would
chek the drain plug on the bottom of the matrix, and make sure that all
the air is flushed out of the system, (did you do this yet?) It may be
that air is trapped in the system and what you thhink is a leak is just
watter expanding into air pockets. And if you are in a hurry, retorque
at 500 miles and again at 1000, Once they get as tight as they are
going to get they wont move anymore! Good Luck! "The Kid"
