Coolant pipe under the supercharger, water pump, thermostat housing and occasionally some of the random smaller coolant pipes (i.e. from expansion tank). They are all plastic now and do not age well.

We had all of ours replaced chasing the same minor leaks prior to 50k.

It depends on where it is coming from, which will determine the best place to examine. If its leaking under the supercharger, you have a small window to peep through, next to the throttle body, at an angle under the supercharger. If its leaking, you should see a puddle collecting.
Sometimes you can see the water pump leaking by removing the air intake tube and using a mirror, but be carefull, if its leaking under the supercharger, it will run down the front of the block behind the water pump, making it look like the pump is leaking.
Hoses and thermostat should be obvious as is, or at least with air intake removed.
