I'll swing by auto zone tomorrow and see if I can get some dye and a black light... Dumb question, but does the coolant need to be flushed afterwards, or is the dye ok to stay in there?

Not entirely sure to be honest.... I think it's fine to stay but considering you have a coolant leak and will likely be replacing/removing a component, you're pretty much emptying it out anyways

So it's looking like my leak is presenting itself upon the system depressurizing. Running I get nothing. I cleaned off the frame 2 days ago and it was all dry. My wife drove the car to work yesterday, and upon her return, it was still dry. Sometime between 5pm yesterday and now (she had the day off because of the weather) the frame got wet again, and there's a puddle under the car... :extrapuke:
