Common procedure for finding coolant leaks is to pressurise the cooling system. Then see where the coolant leaks out from.
There's numerous ways, including fitting a Schrader valve in the coolant cap. You can also pull a coolant pipe of the throttle body, clamp the other pipe, then fit a blue footpump connector of the type used to blow up footballs etc and apply pressure that way.
Only needs about 10-20 psi tops. Then you can examine the valley ov the v6 and associated coolant system foe leaks.
Doesn't work with HBV necessarily as there two settings that could cause it to leak. Ac on or ac off. This is best tested visually with engine run up to temp. first and cycling the ac on and off before the pressure test.
...ime.
Some rekon adding die to the cooling system helps. Utter rubbish imo as the coolant already has a die in it and you can't see the die until you see the leak.
But each to their own as they say
