The cooling system on this car is vast, ha ha ha, I think.
Two radiator hoses, lower/upper, tstat housing, water pump, TWO hoses going UNDER the intake called Valley Hoses, then the octopus hose that goes around the back of the motor that connects to stuff on both side of the back of the motor, then their is the reservior seen in your pic.
I see a lot of ORANGE dried up fluid, these car come with orange rad fluid, you have or had a leak above that, for some time by the looks of it. In that area (above) there is a plastic T that goes to a valley hose, to the TB, and to the octopus hose. Typically that T goes back. You could have a leak from that reservoir.
Frankly your car being as old as it is I would get that pressure tester and make it leak, that will tell ya your leak point.
Again, I see no way that the AC causes a coolant leak, not possible.

BRGJAG surprisingly enough it is factory on both the XK8 and the XJ8. You can remove it pull the block out of its holder and adjust to take out cable slack and then place it back with a new cable tie. Right out of JTIS.
As to the leak, where do you see water when the AC is on? If in the cabin it is the drain line plugged up on the evaporator box.
