The 960s had problems with porous blocks, not the 850s. Head gasket failures are rare. Radiator hoses and the hose to the coolant bottle are really only good for 10-12 years, and I would check that first. You have an N/A, so there should not be a coolant line in the side of the block.
I use a paper towel to try to find coolant leaks. You want the engine warm and not running, and the coolant under pressure. Just carefully wipe under any piping.
