Hey guys... any ideas where this may be coming from...

Going to have to strip it down... Timing belt was done a week ago.

just looks like the waterpump outlet gasket hasnt sealed properly. You can unbolt the flange and replace the gasket, make sure to use some hi-temp "gasket goo" to help the seal.

Was the water pump also replaced when the timing belt was done?

Yea, water pump as well.

I guess ill have to pull everything off again :-(

Seems all sorted.... I just put a bunch of gasket goo in between the return pipe where u could see it dropping out from.
Seems to of worked.
But now I get a p0031 cel! Omgggggg
Didn't even touch the 02 sensor..... Is there any checks I can do before replacing?

Thanks for help guys.

O2 sensor can be tested using a multimeter, but don't know what values you should see on the NB SE sensor. Personally I'd reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery & pumping the brake pedal a few times, & see if it replicates the code, as sometimes after doing major maintenance codes can be thrown until things settle.

Yea. I'll try i
Just very weird all of a sudden, especially since you only touch with that connector to remove the rocker cover
