2006 rx8 not holding radiator fluid

Radiator coolant running out not sure of location - this picture is front of car left of reservoir - to me it looks like a hose is missing from the radiator but I don't see a lose hose or a connection it should run into- just need confirmation I'm not going crazy !!

If the image didn't post I can text images 623-209-4720

That is a connection for a cooling duct off the fan shroud. Not important

Most common area for a leak is the plastic nipple under the overflow bottle...and the plastic end tanks can get brittle and crack with age

If you want confirmation, do a coolant system pressure test. Any roadside radiator shop should be able to do it.
