I don't understand your question. You say they are original lines... so they are about 10 years old. Should they be changed? Absolutely!
About the leak, I don't know how we are supposed to tell you where it is coming from. If it's from the vicinity of the tb coolant lines, than it's probably leaking from one of the tb coolant lines.

yup... i second that... change is good...
while we are on this subject, would it matter on what kind of hose we use? can i just replace with a similar hose like a fuel line instead of radiator hose line??

I bypassed the TB completely using Hose
Techniques reinforced coolant line 3/8 inch diameter Super Red silicone line. Bypassed meaning where the coolant line comes out of the block to the TB, I connect this coolant line where the TB connects back to the block. It might affect cold weather operation though but I'm not too worried.

Edit: I did this mod and it also disables the accelerated warmup sequence. I haven't noticed any ill effects here in OK.
