Now the bad news; to change all of the fittings (there are 10-12 depending upon year), the engine has to come out.............

Although it might be the coolant fitting problem, given the volume of coolant I would suspect something else.
Most people experiencing the fitting problem have a catastrophic failure - meaning the entire fitting is jettisoned from the housing dumping a large volume of coolant.
I would start with some dye in the coolant, and a pressure tester. Disassemble the overhead intake and piping until you can actually see the leak. You might be surprised to find it is something simple.
