coolant loss

Hello,
My 03 Aero w 75k mi started leaking coolant quite a bit recently after frequent a/c usage due to hot weather in LA last week. Bypass valve seems to leak again when I checked.
Couple of years and under 20k mi ago I had to replace the coolant bypass valve with Febi (Brazilian made) due to heavy leak. I read on thread that this valve lasts 50-100k miles? I had my Saab mechanic at Right Solution check for leakage by preassure testing six months ago but couldn't detect anything. So what gives?
I was looking for Mackay valve hose to end this misery but it's back-ordered and currently nowhere to be found. I'm carrying a gallon of dexcool now. Do I have to replace the bypass valve again after less than 20k mi?
Thanks for any advise.
