Coolant smell but it's not the water pump! Anyone else have this leak?

[supreme_gti]

Over the last few weeks I got that occasional whiff of coolant when the car is hot. Today I decided to poke around and try to figure it out and it looks like I found the culprit. I checked the water pump and radiator and no leaks there, I even have a brand new OEM coolant bottle and cap so I'm pretty sure the system is not over pressurizing causing the leak.

All of the hoses feeding the heater core seem to be leaking at the fitting. I can't find the part number for these hoses anywhere online. Has anyone else had this problem? I searched and it seems like my MK6 is the only one to ever have this.

The car is losing only a few ounces a week so this is a very small leak

83,000 miles on the car

thanks for sharing, I have this exact same problem on my mk6 GTI, leak occurred @ 115,000 miles.


UPDATE:
Fixed the leak by replacing BOTH hoses from the image above. It looks like it connects to the engine block and the other end obviously goes to the heater core.
OEM hoses. Filled the coolant tank with coolant, no leaks so far, on day 3
