Thanks. I am going to drain the system again and clean those two surfaces and put it back together and see what happens. I am leaning to the fact that I may have a clogged radiator, even though it does look newish. When it overheated the first time, it was steaming/boiling over and flowing heavily through the overflow hose. After I drained and refilled, I didn't let it get quite that hot but I could tell it was getting too hot and just shut it down before I had a mess to clean. But since that top hose connection area on the block was leaking, mainly when it was running, can I assume that coolent was making its way through the block? If I need to flush the block, can I just disconnect both hoses to/from the radiator and stick a garden hose in it and try to force water through? Could I remove the radiator and essentially try the same? (especailly since it looks new and I hate to buy a new one) I assume either would need to be pressurized somehow to be worth the effort. When I drained it, I did have some small rust pieces come out right at first and when I took the top hose off the block I could see small rust pieces inside- not a lot but some. But then again, it is 55 years old.

I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
