I have pink/red ELC in my 3208s and have some weeps from connection hoses in colder temperatures. I do not have constant tension hose clamps in all locations but will be changing them over when weather cools down. I originally had several wet coolant areas when system was hot and under pressure but, systematically, tightened every conventional hose clamp and even replaced some. The 9/16" wide hose clamps with the smooth inner liner do a much better job of sealing the hoses but are a real pain to replace with hoses connected.
ECL will eat soften gasket material and wick through. The Cummins in my old boat has that issue at the cooling water return to the water pump.
