Default AUII V8 Water Leak - Startup

Purchased a AUII Ghia V8 a month or so ago and found that it is slowly loosing coolant (water at the moment and now I know why).

I have traced it to around the passenger side rear corner of the engine bay. Near where the heater pipes go in through the firewall. Now the weird part is it only happens on start up and once running there is no sign of water leaking.

Anyone got any idea which pipes I should start looking at. Some do look quite new so I am wondering if they may not have sealed the hose correctly or used old hose on new components.

It is also a dual fuel setup so there are some additional hoses for that in that area too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated so I might have a little clue before pulling half the cooling system apart.

Regards,

James
