Hi All, In the last three months or so I have replaced the Rad then the Waterpump. Today I saw a puddle under the car after a short trip and had a quick snoop about. Its coming from the rear of the engine below the heater hoses and dripping onto the Bellhousing. Any ideas ??

I would guess

£5 for the pipe if I recall

part
JHC000081
but if its not that
I would get one anyway to keep in the car

Just make sure it is not the air con first! .

Many thanks for the response that looks like the exact area I saw coolant on the gearbox. Looking good I would say, fingers crossed .

Ok Guys,
I have now changed this hose and the old one looked fine so in reality I don't think it was the problem.
Yesterday I parked front end up hill and a bigger puddle than I have ever seen ran off the gearbox.
Is there a possibility the water is lying in the engine valley and found a way out when on a slope ?

Yes, water can sit in the valley pan.
If the water pump has been changed then it's possible the front to rear metal pipes that run through the valley and connects onto the back of the water pump has been disturbed and is leaking. If not careful the pipes can be pulled out of their rear manifold holes when removing the the old water pump which will then leak if not replaced properly (seals via o-rings on the pipe, once disturbed then could cause issues). It's also possible that the valley pan is leaking but would be unrelated to previous repairs.
The drain hole for both these problems is at the rear of the valley via a small hole which dumps the coolant down through the bell housing or over the gearbox.
There are also a couple of gaskets on the rear coolant manifold which it could be leaking from but it's unusual to leak from there.
Unfortunately if it's leaking from the valley pan area then the intake manifold needs to come off to check and repair the area.
This video should help explain the procedure and shows the metal pipes that could be your problem or the valley pan.

yes, as above, see the bit at 6.20 to diagnose.
