First of all we need to know for sure if it's oil or coolant. If it's coolant, it looks like it's from the bypass hose connection to the cylinder head flange. If it's oil I have no idea.

Cheers I think more likely to be coolant as it's watery and black looks a little thin for oil ,n the dip stick is still "cock" on the top mark . but the coolant level may have dropped a bit I tightened one of two nuts on the water pipe flange the other was tight will monitor it ..thanks for your imput cheers Danny.
