Hi This is the 1st time I have posted,
The low coolant level indicator came up on the dashboard, I have traced the leak to a red pipe underneath the belly of the car. (engine guard?)
Although all the pipes are black on the coolant system this one is red.
I cannot identify what this pipe is, to track down what needs replacing, any help would be much appreciated.

This is the pipe from underneath you can see the coolant dripping. It's fixed by 2 jubilee clips, and is 90°. My concern is I'm getting coolant in places it shouldn't be. Is this part of the coolant system?.

The orange hose if the turbo outlet boost hoses, so it A: shouldn't leak, and B: shouldn't have coolant in it.
There are several coolant hoses above it, connected to the EGR cooler, so that's where to look.

Thanks for that.
I've tried looking from above, taking the engine cover off but couldn't see any leaks.
What's the best way to view the hoses you have mentioned? Would it be taking off the wheel & arch covers or from somewhere else?
