I've recently noticed that the coolant level slowly drains out, however its nothing that is noticeable (as in it doesn't leave a puddle)
I've come to believe that its the coolant feed line that runs along the backside of the motor to the hardline for the turbo.

here is a crude picture to help

Is there any easy way, and is there a place that makes/sells silicone hoses that I can replace that with so I don't have this problem again in the future, which I may also just replace all the hosing that I can with a silicone hose.

Thank you for the help in advance

just replace the hose and use clamps that wont rupture the hose and you should be ok

braided lines FTW, or do what ^^^^ said and just use some GOOD clamps to secure it

I believe I'll go ahead and get the braided lines.
I'm going to poull the turbo off and redo and check everything. I'm hoping that its something simple, like a gasket, or the fact that maybe one of the hardlines has a crack in it.
