more tinkering with the thou...i smeared a bit of instant gasket on the screw and bolted everything back together , ran up to temp and no leak from the screw 
but.....there is just a smear of oil coming from the water pipe which connects to the water pump/oil pump,big hole in the picture, the water pump pipe has an O ring which i have replaced from a "o ring assortment set" bought on ebay. this seals the pipe to retain the coolant, there is also an O ring on the outer edge of the water pump which the water pipe plugs into, this one stops the oil getting out, i replaced this one as well from the assortment set when i rebuilt the water pump/oil pump at the start of this thread, so iam thinking the O ring is not up to the job...looking on FOWLERS excellent website they list both O rings one is £0.93 the other £4.37...a bit more than just an O ring,ive ordered one and will put them side by side and see if i can see the difference, size or material there must be something different...
