My thoughts were to only temporarily bypass the cooler to confirm that it is the only source of coolant loss 100% then replace cooler with a tested new or second hand good part.
I agree they don't make modern cars easy to work on, the designers may make them cleaner and better on fuel consumption, but I suspect if they were told they would have to repair cars on a regular basis it would concentrate their minds a bit better.
We used to say that about classic minis/bypass hoses and Issigonis, but compared with modern stuff they were a doddle
