low pressure isn't really the goal of a coolant system, it's designed to hold the pressure that it's designed to hold.
those bolts are just the areas that the bypass is connected, at least the right side one (nearer to driver's side). i've readjusted the hose connected to that one and going to take a drive today to run an errand, so we'll see if that's had any impact. kinda doubt it, but you guys are at least giving me hope that it's not the head gasket.

they do make leak detection dye for coolant as well. Pressurizing the system should make a constant stream of leak. Spray bottle soapy water clean back there and get good lighting. Cover all bases.

Did you ever find the source of that last leak? the one right after you got the new motor in? it was a clear fluid iirc

haven't done anything with the coolant leak yet, but as far as i can tell it only leaks after a drive, not something i would see from starting up the car. i think it is exacerbated by pressure and i dont think there's much pressure when the car is idling. i did order a lower pressure cap, but i'm not going to put it on until the source of the issue is found. i'm just going to have an evo specific shop take a look at it in feb or mar, i'm not comfortable with it enough myself. i've seen the dribble on the trans but i can't see anything past that. im hoping it's thermostat housing or gasket, but again i can't see it

is using a fluidamper on a time attack car a bad idea?

been thinking about smoothing out the engine a little post-balance shaft removal (which I never wanted to do)
