...to tighten ALL the jubilee clips up after replacing the thermostat
Been loosing a little coolant ever since the new pressure and temp remote thermostat went in. Finally found the problem. Bottom hose jubilee clip was loose. Oops
I'm actually amazed it didnt loose more given how loose it was

It's easy to get distracted when rebuilding anything. Should take the time to check then double check any bolts/fasteners but easier said than done. I always have mild panic attacks when doing rebuilds because I suddenly remember that I haven't checked one thing or another.
