Got over 100 miles on it and no new leaks. Pulled the air cleaner and cleaned all the dirt off it and the radiator shroud. Did the Cut-lid for the air cleaner and cleaned and painted the lid. Put CD2 on some of the parts after cleaning them with cleaner and bristle brush.

Also figured out how the cooling fans work. I have the BP4 option, and the PO had a bypass switch installed. Its a 3 position switch.
1) toggle toward driver's seat= underhood fan runs all the time.
2) toggle in middle position=fans dont run all the time.
3) toggle towards gas pedal= both fans run all the time.
