[DML] Heading into the valley of death

["Ryan Wright" <ryanpwright@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, I've had a very small coolant leak for awhile. Couldn't pinpoint
where it was coming from. Today, while replacing my alternator belt, I
got a slight glimpse into the valley of death via my Surefire
taclight. Looks to be filled with coolant. Doh!!

I'm guessing it's the hose(s) under there. I actually have new ones
waiting for this exact job. Now I need to get to it.

Is there anything I should know before venturing in? Any seals I'm
going to break that I'll have to replace? Anything else I should do or
replace while I'm in there? I was ready to start unbolting things
tonight, but I'd rather not have the car disassembled for weeks while
I wait for parts I didn't know I might need. It's perfectly drivable
now (just have to top off the coolant every 3 weeks or so).
