I recommend putting coolant dye in the cooling system, refilling the cooling system, and looking for the source of the leak that way. 1 leak at a time is the best way to go about it; starting with the worst leak first. You'll need a UV light to see the dye. A cooling system pressure tester would be helpful as well. If you do use a cooling system pressure tester be careful not to exceed the pressure stated on your radiator cap or you will cause damage to the cooling system components. Also, coolant has a very slick oily feeling to it. It's possible that you are only leaking coolant.

Heater valve? Rear heater lines?

Power steering line blown and spraying up on engine?

So it is both coolant hoses attached to the throttle body

That makes sense since the only coolant hoses that are that high up in that area are the throttle body coolant lines and the heater hoses/valve on the firewall.

Should be an easy fix.

It was easy, turns out the oil is coming from the transfer case
