    change the brake fluid gasket before messing with the cooling, look under after the car is hot ( on ramps ) and then feel for leaks.

    addendum-there is also a slight marble type sound coming from up top near the water pump but partially goes away or almost completely goes away when the water starts circulating through - waterpump yes????
