Cooling issue with 00 gtp

[3CLiPSE]

Finally picked it up from old owner, driving it back home and noticed that the coolant low light came on but the engine temp was a little lower than 220. Got home, popped the hood, and alot of water, bubbling to the floor passenger side. It was dark out and tired so i noticed that, there is alot of orange residue around the supercharger area.
Today, looked at it again, and took our the coolant, its all orange and dark.
So i cant figure out where the leak is coming from, but i also noticed that the radiator cap was not on all the way, i squeezed some hoses and cant find the leak. Any ideas? Thanks.
Im getting new coolant, and cleaning it, and filling it up.

Orange coolant is dex.

Check your elbows.

My money is on the coolant elbows or the lower intake manifold gasket failing.

Supercharger is orange, like this orange?

This is usually a bad coolant elbow.

THAT, right there.............is epic.

Wow. great pictures bill.

yeah, the elbows are usually the place to look first. That is where I would concentrate.

wow, its not that bad, but thats exactly what it is. thank you guys so much. im kinda new, so please bare with me. Well with the intake manifold in mind, should i replace it if there is or none leakage? or if its not leaking, to not mess with it at all?
is the orange, dex or rust? im being told its rust but im confused.

that would be super old dexcool that has sludged up and and turned the rust color.
