2005 S-Type R Coolant Demonic Possesion

It was last filled in October. A coworker and I were thinking maybe some buildup got stuck in the radiator. I replaced the reservoir a couple of years ago so I think I am ok there. I'll put it on jacks tomorrow and poke around. The roads were icy today and my PS2's won't work on that!
I drove, err slid to work in here car today.

Our '05 S-Type 4.2 had a slight leak at the vent line connection on the reservoir that did not show itself unless I moved it slightly allowing a visible stream of steam to escape. The first indication was the low coolant message. Ultimately, I did see some orange residue below the connection, which prompted me to start probing. The hose is fairly soft and the hose clamp was just beginning to lose its grip.

So I had the car in yesterday for the RH headlamp repair (sagging ****).
I also asked them to look for the leak. I am losing coolant.
They found nothing. Again. They said they washed everything off while they had the belly pan and bumper facia off for the headlamp repair.
I get home and after an hour's drive it stinks of hot coolant.
I guess I'm going to have to fix this or at least find it for them.
Apparently this is going to be one of those frustrating chase it almost forever issues.
