Welp, the other shoe has dropped. The tiny coolant hose between the thermostat housing and the banjo bolt on the intake manifold has ruptured and the coolant reservoir went dry.
I believe I have enough left over hose and oetiker clamps from replacing the other end of this coolant line, assuming that the fittings are the same diameter. I think I'll have to remove the upper coolant hose, and also remove the serpentine belt and disconnect/move the power steering pump in order to get access to replace this hose. Hopefully I can do it without needing to remove the banjo bolt.
