Coolant Leak

What are the most common areas i should check. I replaced the orange hose but i i am still leaking. I am not blowing white smoke so its not a head. Is the bottom of the thermostat housing a common place?

If you've recently had the upper hose off and put it back with the spring clamps that's a good place for a leak. Been there done that.

Can you trace it to an area of the engine bay or are you just dropping level in the degas bottle?

I've got a small leak where the nipple on my egr cooler goes into the intake. I guess I nicked it when I did my stealth egr cooler delete.
