Later on I did more testing and…….Well, well again how things change so quickly for me……….it seems it is not the PSU ladies and gents! Have a look at the following pics of the mobo.
 
It seems my hasty “clean up” was just that. Next time I have a leak that big I'll take everything apart, a bit of expensive reeducation here!
If there is a bright spot to this I did figure out a way to remove the internal water loop / motherboard assembly out of the SG01 as a unit.
As a starter I remove the shut off valves and used AQ’s plugs in the bulkhead connectors. As the mosfet cooling fan was a real pain to install I didn’t want to remove that, so out came the fan cross mount (normal) and removed the center brace.
  
At this point it was discovered that Murphy came to play. The plan was to remove the nut and washer used on the outside of the case and then pull the bulkhead connectors through the case. However as it turns out these bulkhead connectors have a nut that doesn’t come off. You guessed it, I had installed these just opposite of what I needed them to be. So off to the utility sink to drain the coolant. With the connectors in the “correct” orientation here we are ready to remove the assembly.
After removing and discovering the apparent damage it is time to take everything off anyway. Just pulled the trigger on a TA760 M2+ as a replacement as it appears the only difference is HD3000 (760) vs. HD3200 (780). That and it was $20 cheaper and I couldn’t find another TA780!
Shortly after this life got in the way and interest seemed to be lost……………
