Just out at car now no mayo on dipsick or filler cap and no oil in coolant. The owner did say he had topped up coolant recently, and I can see it leaking from here

That looks like a hose leaking. Remove the hose and clips and check for damage/deterioration. (Although could just be a loose clip) Clean everything off, top up and bleed the system (Full mark is at BOTTOM of header tank) and then check for leaks. Antifreeze /fresh coolant will be needed at this time of year, or risk severe engine damage.

As TC says pressurisation in a cold system indicates HGF - so give her a 10/15 minute thrash at motorway speeds - leave her overnight then open the expansion tank cap - if you get a clear audible hiss of escaping gas it points to HGF as exhaust gas is in the coolant system - also smell the expansion tank to see if there are are exhaust fumes present.
Finally have you lost any coolant at all ?

Great stuff Thomas. It looks as if you've found the culprit. That joint has been "played with" before as it has a Jubilee clip and not the factory original clamp. Can I also see a shred of rubber wafting in the wind?
