Yeah, I agree with this statement. The same thing happened to me with an old Jeep when I replaced the intake manifold gasket. I cleaned up the manifold of old oil, dirt and general crud. When I was filling the rad, it started leaking coolant near trhe radiator hose inlet. I took another look at things and discovered a crack. All that crap I cleaned off was plugging the crack good enough to stop any leaks even under cooling system pressure.
