I've always checked sites like FCP Euro (as an example, many great shops are out there). They often have true OEM in OEM boxes, as well as identical items form the companies that manufacture for the OEM's. And of course those parts are cheaper.

The 240-ish degrees is normal. That's actually the oil temperature but after a while of driving in the summer yes totally normal.

Good luck with the coolant part though. I'd just generally say to clean the area up and hope that might help spot it the next time it starts to leak. There are also dyes you can use, later with a black light, to try and find the leak.
