Good luck.

1) The lower coolant hose can rub against a sharp edge of the engine castings. If that is the case loosen the clips just enough to move the hose and then re-tighten the clips. The sharp corner could be relieved with a little work with a file too.
2) Check that one of the hoses to the coolant header tank is not chaffing where it passes over the angle at the top of the foot well.
