Guys thanks for all the advice. I am slowly getting there. I decided on leaving that one hose alone. It's not leaking now... I hope it doesn't for a long long time! When/if that one "goes", I'll hire a mechanic. Some things are better off left to the pros. :) :)
I did replace all the heater hoses and the upper and lower radiator hoses today. I hate those OEM heater hose clamps! You loosen them but the tension on the hose doesn't lessen. What a nightmare those things are. I ended up cutting the majority of the hoses out and working on them in my lap where I could get at each clamp. The 4 clamps that were left on the van took a while to remove.
It's done and no leaks! New coolant too.
I did have my mechanic replace all the belts a few days ago. There are FOUR V-belts instead of a single serpentine belt.
