Before you go to this much trouble I'd just have someone sit in the car and 
watch while you do the hose thing. That way they can shout at you the 
minute the leak is obvious. This prevents you from putting in more water than 
you need to.

Start with the louvers in front of the windshield, or you may already have 
noticed drips on your shoes while driving but just didn't make the connection. 
At any rate, cleaning out those water drain hoses is always worthwhile.
