Infamous l behind engine coolant leak

Coolant leak started slow and hard to find and no hot air inside the vehicle. I live in Florida, more of a “defrost” windows in the mornings.

Filled with distilled water
Reservoir stayed full for 10+ mins.
Fans kicked on, and water started pouring

Didn’t have enough time to continue looking but managed to snap a photo and vid clip with one of those inspection cameras.

I want to say it is coming from that well known plastic connector piece. Left half of image is pointing down. Right half is facing the the back of engine. Below the throttle body

Red square is the water leak coming from above.

Going to order the connector piece no matter what.

Any other potential or I might as well replace at the same time?

Rather spend $2-300+ in new hoses/connectors whatever else, in the area while already having to disconnect many to fix it.

Once identified will figure out wether I’ll do it or not. Already know else could be paid to do it a second time. Just like when I replace both front struts.

I have a hose clamp kit with extension and seperator/puller.

Thanks no matter what.
