asking for help again lol as the matrix enters the engine bay the 2 metal pipes seem to have plastic adaptors to fix the flexi pipes to , is it common for this to be a weak point for a leak when under pressure

Would say not. Sure its not dripping off the hbv?Far more common. But i think the connection to those pipes is covered in the flushing guide. Some sort of locking, clip, pain in the arse affair iirc. Maybe they are not seated correctly? But without seeing it, would suggest checking hbv while your in there first.

Sorry, Heater bypass valve. Have a search mate. Its been well covered on here. The most common cause of coolent leaks on the omega. Its above, but slightly to the side of the matrix pipes.

you could well be right , the pipes are not leaking , the leak is lower and to the right , behind the block just where you cant see it .

anyone got a pic of the hbv on a 2.0 16v

i have found the hbv , oh what a joy that would be to change   but that is not leaking . it gets worse lol the leak is in the pipe from the block to the hbv , cheers chris for pointing me in the right direction and making me look again lol
