I have been checking the oil very regularly; actually, doing an oil change tomorrow, but the oil looks fine. I haven’t put any more coolant in about 30 days, level is slightly lower than it was when I filled up the reservoir. I still see water dripping from the exhaust pipe, more than the usual amount....so I’m really clueless at this point.

The "t-bolt" is the style used for turbo couplings and high-pressure connections. The surface has a more uniform contact area so there are fewer pinch points and less chance of the hose creating a leak. They tend to be a little wider and taller so if space is an issue it may not fit.
I spent some time fishing in Conception Harbour and Gander, miss the rock.

Cool. I will put one of them on when I can find one. Yeah the rock is an awesome place for sure. Lots of back country running here.

I went to all the shops around and NONE have a t style clamp. I have two stainless clamps to try now. I will order some T styles and go around and replace all of them when it warms up. I just need this to stop for now!

I got it done. The stock clamp was shot, I squeezed it open and it just stayed open. There's my problem. I put the normal clamp on tight and it is not leaking. I will get some t styles for my hoses. I don't trust those stock ones now.
