could be coolant/clutch fluid/gear oil/fuel. Colour? Smell?

NO smell , clear i guess

That should rule out gear oil and fuel. Is the coolant level low? Clutch feel ok? Brake fluid level ok?

Clutch is fine and brakes are good , where do i check for coolant level?

sounds like a coolant leak then, it should be fairly easy to locate.

Hello andy , hope your well, when i drive for say half an hour will pull up turn off then look under the engine , it drops down from the sump ,, its clear and has a little fluid movment to it , do you think its a split pipe or worn pipe?
