Ron,

Good call on the hose clamp tightening.  Cranking down
on the screws at the firewall tightened them up some.
Even bigger on my car were visible signs of long term
leakage on one of those hoses a few inches away where
it appears there is a factory splice??  Tightened all
the heater hose screws I can reach and there is almost
no sign of wisps of coolant vapor when stopping after
a run. 

I just CAREFULLY washed down the engine compartment so
we'll se if that gets rid of the little effect that is
left but just tightening the screws got at 99% of the
problem.
