Roverconfident, welcome to the Club.

When my inlet manifold gasket was losing a small amount of coolant, when cold I could feel under the back of the block to find "the dribble", which maybe is how you found yours? Due to the expansion of metal with heat, I lost less on long journies.

I can't remember where I got my gasket from but a good point when fitting was to rub some grease or vaseline all over it. While the manifold was off, it was a good opportunity to check the operation of the jiggle valve.

Good luck.
