The hose looks pretty old (the one from the top of the rad), its probably perished slightly and letting water seep out?

Try replacing it with an up-rated hose (Samco if you can find em cheap enough) and some nice new jubilee clips  :wink:

Check the radiator where the hose is connected.

start it up on your drive , bonnet closed let it warm up till the electric fan cuts in
switch the motor off, open the bonnet , see where the leak is coming from .

 it is at it's hottest , therefore max pressure just be carefull  :smiley:
