Coolant leak?

My yaris is a 2006 model 5dr 1nz-fe engine with around 346000km. I've noticed coolant levels drop in the reservoir. I filled it up to the full mark 2 days ago and noticed it drop about 40% in the reservoir. There is small dripping happening and it seems to come from above the rear of the oil pan (laid a cardboard box underneath and then witnessed it this morning too.

Attached are two pictures that show where I see potential coolant leaks but they're on the other side as opposed to where I see the leak from underneath the car. Nothing pink appears near the water pump which was replaced 8 years ago (the pink stuff confirmed water pump failure)

Anything I should be on the lookout for? I replaced the radiator cap last time I had coolant issues and I doubt it's the cap this time since last time there was dried coolant surrounding that but not this time (unless you count what's going on in the picture)

The oil on the dipstick shows no contamination at the moment

I've added some stop leak so I'll observe and see how it goes

Update, stop leak didn't work. I've just seen wet coolant appear on those spots so I highly believe that hose is busted. Should changing that hose itself fix all the problems? I don't see leaks anywhere else
