Continuing on with this saga, I decided to remove the fan blades from the water pump pulley so I could get a closer look at things without adding insult (cut off fingers) to injury, started the engine got it hot and low and behold NO LEAK!!!!!! The whole front of the engine and bottom tank on the radiator was dry as a popcorn phart! Why me God? Checked the hose end for punctures dry as a bone, felt around the weep hole in the water pump and it was dry also. Still need some more divine guidance and leadership Thanks again for any thoughts.
