I'm mostly looking for items outside what I mentioned in that area that can fail.
The pressure tested will reveal your leak. Top off the coolant, hook up the pressure tester, take it up to 15-20psi (should be good) and start looking around for your leak.

There are a bunch of plastic parts at the bottom of the rad that could be your culprit... as well as numerous hoses.
