Your best bet would be to pressurize the system then look for leaks.
If you want to save a bit of cash you can likely get a kit at Harbor Freight tools.

Let engine run to operating temp, spray a little water to connections and search for bubble?

If that is the only leakage, it's not what is causing a drop in tank level. What you have there is on the (very) high side of normal (ie, something you want to fix but shouldn't cause any problems other than the way it looks). But the coolant may have drained to a lower area. Inspect lower down and see if you can find more signs of leakage/drainage - if the tank level is dropping, you may find a puddle in the undertray or a cavity on the engine.

The throttle bodies have coolant lines for freeze protection (some ppl in warmer climes will delete the lines).

Spraying liquid on a fitting to find a liquid leak. There is no bubbles. :rofl2: It only works if you are using a dye to hi-light the leak.

From looking at the picture. The hose on the right looks like it's leaking at the connection. What you can do. Move the spring clamp back off the hose. Twist the hose around. Then put the spring clamp back on. If that don't work. Replace the clamp.

Those spring clamps lose tension over time and temperature.
