Default 2001 Jaguar xjr coolant leak

Hello, I am new to Jaguar forums. I have read the forums other times to figure out other issues. I have a 2001 Jaguar xjr, currently I have the supercharger off to be rebuilt. Before I took the supercharger off my car has been leaking coolant. Are there any common coolant leak spots that I can check while I have the supercharger off?

Perfect time to replace the two heater hoses that run under the intake manifold and the 'octopus' heater hose that connects those two to the heater valve and pressure tank.

Sounds a bit daunting Andy . . .could you possibly explain in more detail . What would have to come off to view these "pipes" ?

It is not a big leak , a drip about every 5 seconds. I can just about see that there is possibly some coolant from around the water pump area, but cannot see an actual Nox Vidmate VLC flow

This is a link to the procedure on a NA X308, but as you have the supercharger off already it should help.
