Issue after rebuild HELP!

So here goes..

got a full rebuild done with a lot of other work aswell. Now I’ve completed around 600km since the rebuild and it’s dribbling coolant. Did a pressure test and it’s leaking from here (see pics) is this my water pump? It was fine before engine went in to be rebuilt.

That's the MOP. The coolant is coming from higher up and dripping down there. Have another look

That's your OMP, there is no coolant in there. I would guess it's coming from the big hose junction above that.

A little visual aid....

As advised coolant is likely coming from multi-coolant connection junction / manifold shown here, It is directly above the OMP. Three coolant connections are highlighted...there are actually six coolant connections to the junction, and the junction seal to the engine block itself which c/b the source of the leak.

All the best.

Yeah there are a ton of places to leak in that area. You'll find it.
