Just throwing this out there...

Is any leak asociated with the vacum associated with the coolant valve that sits upon the top of the Tip?

The vacuum opens and closes the valve based on electrical input to the change over valve. It's been a while since I had the valve in hand, but if I remember right, the valve is open (flowing coolant) by default and is closed by vacuum. It could be the other way around. The point is that the vacuum just opens and closes the valve (928.574.573.03) and any coolant leaking would not be from the vacuum system, but from coolant flowing through the transmission heat exchange system.

Here's a small ship, coastal oiler I think, in Cap Hatien harbor:
