Finally got around to trying this last night - used a spare piece of fuel
hose, which was a tight fit over my air nozzle, and slipped the other end
onto the pressure cap. Within a few seconds at 15psi, I saw drops from the
short hose leading from my auxiliary coolant pump. They were dripping right
onto the clutch/timing inspection hole, probably making way into the clutch
after a while. Off to find a new hose, and then test again!

Thanks for all the info.
