    #s 21, 22, and 23 are the orings for the water pipe to engine block ports and for the thermostat in link 1
    Also, consider if you are that far into the vee, it might not be a bad idea to replace those hoses if your wallet allows, they are at least 18 years old? By now and they've been baking in the vee of the engine. And they May become NLA unless the 8th gen shares the same plumbing

    Really thank you guys for your input. Finally had time to remove the tbodies. Sure was a pain and I managed to brake a corner off, but hope this corner won’t affect performance of the air box.

    17AA54F4-47E1-4276-B154-A60A9898BAC7.jpeg I think the coolant was leaking off those two short hoses. Little bit of calcium build-up and I don’t see any other damage. May be old and tired hoses.

    Great! You're already that far, now if go ahead and do the orings for the water necks and replace the hoses.

    Then you will likely never have to do it again for a Long Long time

    That’s the goal: to take my time and do it right the first time. I would hate to do it again any time soon.
    Thanks jstehman.

    Making some progress with my limited time.
    Got the water ports out and gave them some TLC. Definitely the leak was coming out of the old and tired hoses.
    Hope my issues and progress can help someone else.
    Here are some before and after pictures of the coolant ports.

    The inside of the ports don’t have visible damage or pitting.

    In case you’re still following or interested, I got a reply from yzerman corroborating that the hoses are a good fit.
