It's the waterjacket seal ... head off to seal that I'm afraid. Just check that it isn't leaking from either the therostat housing or the drain bung (allen screw) this runs down onto the jacket seal and then along it and drips from the jacket seal trying to fool us

If you dont mind the drips she will go on for a good while longer. Just have to keep the inside expansion bottle topped up, as the little leak might prevent any vacuum from filling the engine automatically.
