Marke that sound like the coolant level sensor is dead.
You can replace only the whole coolant tank (around 30 pounds according to other members was the price of the tank from the dealers)

Where is the coolant rail and what does it look like.  Is there an easy way of working behind and around the gearbox to piping??? I tried taking the scuttle off but failed on getting the wipers off

i tried that yesterday Matthewst and because its trickling down its hard to pinpoint, I think iv narrowed it down to either the piping that runs from the bottom of the rad to the back of the engine, the pipes coming out of the water pump or the water pump.  Im assuming the pump is ok as the car is not overheating at all and still getting heating although feels a touch cooler when at lights or crawling than when travelling at normal speeds

could my troubles be anything to do with the thermostat? it was new on in may but could it be sticking or something and allowing a flow hence more pressure and leaking???
just an idea
