Default Coolant Leak

Hello, I have a 94 Camry V6 and need some help finding a coolant leak. I think i know where the leak might be but need more opinions on finding the leak, The leak looks like it's coming from the smaller hose and starting from the top and dribbling down the bottom, I have pictures of the leak...Thanks.

Where does the hose with the dripping coolant go to and from?

There are small coolant hoses running to and from the IAC valve which is bolted to the throttle body.

There are dyes that can be added to the coolant which will glow under black light to show a path to the leak even if the coolant has evaporated...

Thanks for replying, I found the leak. I purchased a uv dye kit and the leak was 2 small pin holes in my lower radiator hose. The transmission cooler line hose clamp was rubbing against the hose and created the leak. Everything is fixed and I'm up and running coolant leak free, The uv dye is a great and easy way to find leaks.....Thanks👍
