Fwiw, I would pull panels, add coolant, wipe everything clean and dry and find the leak before spending valuable dollars replacing things. Your call.

I'm at 310,000km so brace yourself! Just kidding. I normally agree that replacing parts for the heck of it is unwise, but I already have new inlet/outlet hoses waiting to go in so I'm going to finish it off with a new throttle body hose and the coolant hose that connects in a T fashion to the middle of the bypass pipe. I've noticed the hoses under the intake manifold become rock hard
They are both $10 from my local dealer.

Wild guess: Gasket(s) under the coolant crossover pipe.

The UV dye may not be needed, I found this joyful remnant of a blue waterfall behind my block...which just so happens to be flowing from where the passenger side flange of my crossover pipe is. Maybe the O-rings hardened up and my recent track day busted them open.
