Thanks. I got the van fixed. Got new hoses, even though the old ones still looked fine. Turned out they were fine, except whoever installed the last set of hoses didn't put the clamp all the way on the hose before tightening it. Geez, how hard can that be? So the clamp cut through the little bit it was on the hose and the hose finally started leaking. If I had tools and daylight I could have just moved the clamp that night. I replaced the hoses anyway and now it runs good. 273k on it. Doesn't appear to be losing any water now so before winter I'll drain and replace with antifreeze mix.
