There's another place that I have found small coolant leaks. Both radiators have a small connection for a tube at the top corner. Those tubes join and run back, under the car to the tank. The connection at the radiator is fragile and I have found them cracked on a couple radiators. Hopefully yours is good now. Have you tried a pressure test again?

Slightly off topic but appropriate....
I have a slight coolant leak from the front passenger side and I was thinking to remove the underside panel and check around but looking at this pic its probably checked from the top?
How do I take a look at the top of the radiator?
thanks

Nevermind, I found a write up, but is there any way to see a possible source of a leak without taking the whole front end off?
