Coolant Leak Left Side ST1100

I ordered the Elbow water pipes that sit on top of the ST1100 engine. Interestingly enough, I pulled them off and laid then down & went to bed. Next day looked at the LEFT one & it was fine.
Picked up the right one & the edge if it snapped.
THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF A HISTORY OF WATER GOING THROUGH THAT CRACK.
AS IN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING, SAME THING, WHITE CALCIUM DEPOSITS ON EDGES.


We are pretty confident the new elbows & O-Rings will stop the leak.
Also replacing ALL hoses to the thermostat from the top if the Engine.
also replacing thermostat, upper & lower Radiator hoses and Radiator cap.
Also replacing OVERFLOW line from Thermostat Housing to the Coolant Reservoir..


I AM IN NO HURRY, SO -
HAVE I MISSED ANYTHING???
