Have coolant leaking bad. It seems it starts when the thermostat opens.
I put dye in the reservoir and at night under UV flashlight it seems to spread all over the engine.
My worry is head gasket/ cracked head.
If so, should the dye be visible in the tail pipe?
There are concentrations around the radiator hose clamps.
Replace all hoses?
Replace the coolant pressure cap?

ps , if car is parked , no coolant soils the ground, while it is using a quart in 15 miles it seems.

Thanks in advance, all input welcome.
