What about the other pipe then coming off the top of the expansion tank? It was connected stupid way round - bottom hose was leaking as it would and will be reconnected to the top of the thermostat housing now - this should solve the leak... 
How about the top hose - I take it it's only the breather pipe for the expansion tank - is there any connector it attaches to or needs to be placed? I did check both Haynes and other service manuals and there is no routing for these shown... Fingers crossed that should cure it, will check the rear light cluster from scratch with the diagrams printed and that should be ok as well. What scares me is that it shows that some butcher was mending the bike, not sure what else to expect... As said, rides nice, if anything, it bangs into 1st gear a tat too harsh, even though I've cut down on the low revs.
