Aaron,
In addition to the small turbo coolant line that others have mentioned
(located way up under the intake manifold above the thermostat), there is a
short (about 3 inches) normal sized coolant hose just rearward of
thermostat. It connects to a hard pipe which connects to a heater hose and
the after-run coolant pump near the rear of the engine. (P/N
034-121-063-C).
One more possibility for a leak in this area is the thermostat cover
itself... it is made of plastic, and I found that the lip which seals
against the thermostat O-ring had begun to deteriorate on mine, resulting in
a leak from the thermostat housing itself. Must be made of the same plastic
as the climate control temp sensor T-fitting, back-of-head fitting, and
after-run pump body!
