Hi,
I've not posted in this section before, but about 6 months ago we bought a '63 plate Fiat 500 for my daughter. It was an insurance write-off after a crash that a garage repaired and then sold on. The car drives very well, but it's developed a water leak that I think is either coming from the hose from the back of the engine, the thermostat point (I think its a thermostat), the large hose from the front or the gasket where these three hoses connect. The problem is that it's not actually leaking (as in wet) to be able to pinpoint it. It's only leaking once the engine is running and then needs topping up. I've removed various bits so I can see better and the pics are here.

Should I replace the whole lot, the jubilee clips on the rear and front hoses, the gasket under the plate held by two bolts and the thermostat?
Should I use any sealant?
Cheers for any advice.
