It was water pump and low temp stat, and coolant flush. Not much to disturb down there.

I did read about a smoke machine. If I can slightly pressurize the system I do have a combustible gas detector / sniffer.

May be time to search for and buy a Durametric.

The only thing even remotely close is the vac line running down the firewall on the left side. It should be pretty robust, but if it were bumped into it might disconnect. you can look right at it with the left rear wheel off. it is just above the plastic under car close out panel on the firewall. Unlikely, but that's all I got.
