Okay so coolant leak from this area, stupid place to put them under the brake servo, can't see properly or work easily down there.
I suspected the duo valve, I've had the thing apart in the past, to clean it up when jammed.
However I can't see any obvious leak, the coolant circulator heater water pump lives below it. Covered in coolant but that may have just dripped out when I was pulling the hoses off. Neither the pump or the valve or the hoses are showing any tell-tails of leaking coolant.
The hoses look good (although I may trim the ends back)
Q1) Can anyone think of way of testing them from leaking off the car?
Q2) Is the coolant heater pump really necessary? Should I just bypass it?
