So getting a small amount of coolant leaking from what looks like the pipe that comes out the back of the thermostat housing area.
However I can't see where!!

filled with orange coolant so easy to see the leak.

Couple of videos here.
When looking up from the bottom it is leaking between the block and the alternator, onto the oil feed for the vacuum pump. I can see a little drop further up on the side of the block.
From the top I can't see anything leaking around the back of the thermostat housing.

What do I take off next to get a view but still able to run the engine up?
