Possibly the water pump if you are sure all pipes are connected well and not leaking

The metal pipe that runs behind the cam covers to a rubber pipe that connects to the header tank, make sure this connection is good. The small rubber hoses at the bottom make sure all the connections are tight.

If it where the water pump leaking I would expect to find water on the block thermostat area rather than the pipes...


The only way to no for sure is to investigate further...

 

ok will have a proper look tomoz, anymore ideas

 

stripped down now, looks like water pump is starting to failed, so hopefully back on the road tomoz
