Welcome to OOF   :y

You'll get more help if you post your questions in the Omega General Help section  ;)

But in answer to point 2) - It'll probably be your HBV (Heater Bypass Valve) situated behind the engine to the left of centre - it'll drip ontp gearbox.  PITA to swap - there's a howto on here.
