You know...

Maybe there should be fluorescent colored RTV that glows in the dark. If it leaks, you can easily see it! I think it will sell!...lol

You know they make tracer dyes for that? Works wonders especially for those hard to find coolant leaks.

Just the radiator and fan clutch.
Oil pump:

Well, might as well do the timing chain at the same time...

If I were planning on pulling the front end apart I would :
Replace fan clutch
replace oil pump
inspect/replace timing chain/gear
pull rad and have it redone
replace thermostat
thoroughly clean all around a/c condensor
use the improved silicone seal instead of old style rope seal

Might as well go in once and hit it all if possible. I may have overlooked something, not really sure.
