You have gear clamps and they loose clamping force as the hose material extrudes from under the clamps. Tighten them all!!! Around TB too.
The pump connects to the block woth a hose adapter and two o-rings. The o-rings get hard and start to leak. You discon the PS pump and move it to the side with hoses connected, then remove the pump. So thats a lot of work and a new pump should be fitted when doing all of that work as the pump will fail some day. Is it original?
When the pump is out, good time for a flush and a new t-stat.
Small old hoses will not reseal when refitted. Use smaller gear clamps from the hardware store and put a pad of folded over duct tape between clamp and hose so the hose jacket will not cut and extrude through the slots in the new clamp. The clamp gear body of the stock clamps is too big and flat for the old small diameter hoses.
Clear flush water out of the rad and heater cores with a shop vac.
