Default Coolant leaks?

I have a 1990 B2 with the 2.9 there is a slow leak somewhere that I can't find previous owner replaced the water pump and the radiator I've checked the oil and there's no water there is there any other places it could be leaking besides the hoses? Imma replace them soon just wanted to know if there's any other places I should look as well

No familiar with your motor but I have replaced my heater control valve 3 times due to slowly leaking coolant. 1996 3.0 V6.

Yes, me either. Took me forever to figure it out. Only dripped when it was running and just happened to catch it while starring at the engine one day.

Seems like the 2.9 doesn't have one even at the parts store they can't find anything so imma replace the hoses and radiator cap and see if that fixes it

Fucking Bronco decided it was going to either pop the head gasket or crack the head not sure which so now I gotta swap engines. Doesn't make sense cause the engine didn't over heat at all. Started acting up after I hit a guard rail cause some ******* was half way in my lane. Luckily the body of the truck is fine the spare tire racks a little scuffed but nothing serious
