That's where I have my rear steam vents plumbed into. The small hose from the reservoir to the radiator. Same as the front steam vent.

Could I put the small reservoir hose to the top radiator hose?

I'm not sure what you're asking. You mean the main top hose from the water pump to the radiator? I don't know how you would even do that.

any reason you wouldn't just "T" both steam vents into that smaller hose? I don't see any cosmetic or performance advantages to "T"ing it into the big hose?
