Did they pressure test the cooling system??? Obviously, something's leaking somewhere, if the water pump was leaking out the vent hole, I don't believe it would end up on the underside of the hood near those holes you're talking about, could be a hose, you've got plenty of them, could be the radiator, that o-ring design sometimes is a leaker, I just replaced the rad on my kid's 93 Taurus, in between replacing split hoses and whatnot,, the coolant was squirting out of the crimp, after pressurizing, between the side tank and the core, bout 2" from the top, below the cap,, I was hoping we could fudge it until springtime too gd cold here, couldn't get away with it
