I have had two identical sized leaks on my 2005 STR. Too small to find until everything cooled off. Used a coolant pressure tester and a small mirror to see down in and under the mass of hoses. I ended up replacing every hose I could. Even if they looked OK. Inter-cooler, all DCCV hoses, upper and lower radiator hoses.

It's was a pile of hoses when I was done!
