That's the sort of thing that prevents the system pressurising properly. I've had similar on my SD1 when a defective brazed joint on the metal expansion tank caused problems. Why don't you fix the minor leaks from the clamps?

The temperature should fall as soon as the fan starts running. If you remain stationary it should reach 96 degrees in a minute or two. Yours doesn't because your cooling system isn't sealed (the two minor leaks) plus you have an ongoing K-Seal problem.
One important point about the MGR bleeding method is that the starting point is a fully drained system
including the cylinder block plug. I wonder whether those people who distrust this method have done this. Somehow I doubt it.
