So it's the same pipe and not a second replacement?
Is it the same jubilee clip all the time also kerms?

No, new pipe, same jubilee, same water pump.
The old pipe split where oil had been dripping on it
wasn't leaking until it split

Mark is correct Kermie, the tell tale hole on the pump could be leaking giving you a false reading of where its coming from mate.Even if the pump was new yesterday kerms, don't rule it out

My line of sight is...
Try another jubilee clip first, then if it leaks again,
check the pump fitting, if the pump fitting is sound then the pipe is the issue and needs to be replaced.
Even if you bought another pipe and six jubilee clips it's still cheaper than dealing with a blown gasket!!

It's definitely the joint because i can see it leak under pressure when the engine is cold and not running

Did the old pipe come off easy or was it cut off or forced off?

OK so that gives an indication of the pump fitting, hopefully just the jubilee is scuppered. I always replace them and keep the old good ones for a "quick fix".

Plus 1 to that but in addition there are a lot of SS Jubilee clips where the clip teeth are punched holes rather than raised pressings, it's impossible to get the punched ones tight enough without the teeth deforming.

Very good point, cheapo clips... Stainless doesn't seem to be expensive anymore as they use it in poorly designed stuff too easily...

This one isn't stainless and not punched holes.
I had one of those on the top hose i got a while back. Replaced before Xmas because it split clean in 2

I'd much rather have those but never know which is the right size to buy.. they can compress where the jubilee goes looseI still have some of the spring clips on mine, never had and issue and they have been off once or twice
Plus.. they are the right shape!!
