That's why I suggested the sniff kit, you'll know quite quickly with a warm engine if there is any present in the coolant. Come on, you know this

What about pressurising the header tank with a modified bottle top?
At 10 miles a litre it has to be quite obvious if you look in the right place; drop the exhaust manifold off
Playing spot the weeping core plug ...
Exactly, plus with the manifold removed a crack into the exhaust port or around the seats should be fairly obvious if the system is pressurised.
Many years ago I had a proper testing kit with various radiator caps and a balloon like hand pump.
Go steady on the pressure and don't exceed the cap rating to avoid damage.
