Thank you all for your input. Motor is still in wagon and ran well coming out of storage. Kultuz, I feel I would need to replace the radiator and heater valve before I could pressure check as both are leaking. Perhaps I should replace those two items first.

Early on before I pulled transmission I had the front of the wagon on stands and after a few days I notice drops of coolant on the ground near back of the motor. There is an obviously leak at heater valve and I suspected that due to the front elevation, that valve leak traveled across the top and dripped down back side? I could not see the path clearly as I have not removed any portion of the top half of the motor.

I'm not ready to pull motor and rebuild, I just want to stop the leaks for now and before I do this, I want to inquire that I possibly do not have an internal leak that anyone may have experienced? Perhaps based on forums experience maybe a trickle down effect leak through perhaps valley pan or distributor seal from my heater valve that may sound plausible?
