coolant loss vs discoloration on inter-cooler hose

Sorry about first attempt to post this - processing error.
'02 Saab 9-3 SE, 85,000 miles
For 1+ years there has been a gradual or intermittent coolant loss. Over past two months the reservoir has gone from the cold fill marker down to the low sensor. No evidence of coolant on ground, and in most respect car runs normally. Pressure test is normal.
There is a discoloration (see photo) on what I believe is the lower inter-cooler hose. This doesn't dry up even after many days, and has gotten a little worse over the past 2 months.
1. Does that lower inter-cooler hose convey coolant or just air ?
2. Would there be any rational reason to believe that the discoloration might be due to coolant ?
3. Any other reasons for the discoloration
Thanks, any thoughts appreciated.
