Losing coolant

So this morning I checked coolant after our 200 mile run into Fort Valley
yesterday, and the level is about 2/3 up the sight glass. That might translate
into a half-pint of loss, but definitely minimal.

One possible explanation for the loss ending/slowing: a couple of days ago I
spotted a bead of coolant at the gasket at the top of the electric circulation
pump. I found that I could tighten the two bolts about 1/4 turn each without
exerting too much torque, and that appeared to squeeze out a bit more coolant.

At this point I'm not going to do anything other than continue to watch it.
