After replacing a few in 20 years of ownership- I have gotten into the practice of- if I have to replace the radiator- I may as well replace the ECTS ($20.00), and the Water Pump (~$25.00)...

Get it all done at once- that way you aren't constantly draining and refilling the Coolant system multiple times.

As soon as I figure out where the water pump is, exactly, I'll have a look for any leakage. ECTS is fine, replaced 23 months ago. the DTC for it cleared as soon as I had a good ECTC in there (the first one I put in was defective, so I went back to get another one. Since then, the temp gauge has consistently read ~1/4 until just now. Hoses get hot, cabin heat is performing well. Fan is not turning with gauge ~7/8!! Checking the fan now to see if it will spin with 12V applied directly to it.
