Cooler plate, coolant bridge and the curly rubber pipe are next favourites.

Remove plenum, and join the throttle body hoses. Remove coolant cap, and blow hard into it (sealing if poss) while somebody looks for leak.

Gone from bad to worse... ran car to temp and no leaks visable so assume hose clips hadnt sealed properly so happy days......... I thought.... Then noticed water dripping and spraying ( due to aux belt flicking it) from bottom of engine and traced it to behind lower half of timing belt cover.... thinking water pump losing will to live..... Jimbob recons there's a pipe behind there that could be culprit...... Timing belt needs changing though  need it done this weekend if anyone available? Dont mind travelling within reason.... Think Elite pete now lives in Tibet as he dont seem to be on here anymore...

Worth popping the plenum off as it could be running forward and down behind the cambelt cover :-\

The only water item behind the cover is the waterpump...

Agreed.Mine was leaking as described and it turned out to be running down from the front of the cooler plate. :y
