The outlet from water jacket to radiator is that side of engine - may be that attachment/ pipework...

 

try cleaning the engine up then having a look, as there's other sensors on that side ...... not even considering head gasket at this stage :D

sorry - but what i meant was there is other things which can leak in addition to the head gasket.... NOT it isn't your head gasket

right hand side of the engine looking from the front of the car, or from the drivers seat?!?

Common leaks tend to be from the following places:

 

Plastic flange on the side of the head.

Metal water pipe which runs around the front of the block and then over the gearbox has rusted through.

Split rubber hose (any of 'em...)

Headgasket weeping

Possibly also the plastic flange on the front of the head, the oil cooler or even the expansion tank itself.

 

You'll have to have a good look around the engine while it's warm to see if you can see where the exact source is... :|

 

Good luck... 8)
