Just tryin' to figure it all out.

So... I sourced the problem.
I was tempted to just let this thread die but figured I owed everyone some resolution.
When I replaced the coolant after swapping out the cooling system I stored the old coolant in gallon water jugs (that I used to flush the system) and the bottles that the new coolant came in.
I hadn't taken these to be recycled yet and had stored them on some shelves in front of the LC. Saturday I noticed another large "leak" of coolant on my garage floor which frustrated me to no end. It seemed almost as if it was happening at random and inconsistently at that.....
SO I start looking at the flow pattern. I had thought that it was leaking FROM the cruiser then flowing forward under the shelves. In fact, it was flowing from the shelves UNDER the LC. The bottles of old coolant were leaking down the shelves, onto the floor, and forming a puddle in front of my truck. The truck itself was NOT leaking.
I've since taken the old coolant to be recycled and found that nearly 1.5gal had leaked... this explains why with such a large leak I couldn't find ANY trace of coolant under the LC.
So I appreciate your help, I'll tend to those oil cooler hoses soon, but in the meantime, I'm gonna drive this rig.
