What worried me is that before topping up the temperature gauge was at 9 oclock and not red light, but the dash test said the coolant was 125degrees c.
Surely at that temperature the needle should have gone beyond 9 o clock?

If you let the temperature go like that a few more times you are going to RUIN your engine.--
At that temperature the light was probably just about to come on or maybe the light itself has failed. You are heading for a much, much greater bill than just replacing that leaking seal.----------
KEEP that rad topped up or soon you will be walking or travelling on the bus.---
