Well, I've found it for sure.
Took that pipe off, cleaned everything up, checked the pipe, seemed OK. Put it all back together.
Now I've started the engine up with the intercooler and turbo shroud off so I can see more clearly, ( a pair of her tights over the intake pipe as an air filter  ),and there was nothing right up to just below normal operating temp. Then, all of a sudden a tiny pinprick hole in the rubber pipe started peeing water out  .
So it's a £2 piece of pipe, and I've got bits of pipe here every size except that one  . Sods law strikes sgain .

Finished !
I think. Used the old copper pipe and 2 jubilee clips trick. She's sat outside now building up temperature to test it again.
Certainly ain't getting any more attention off me tonight  .
