2008 (MY09) V70 T6 3.0
Okay, so had the thermostat replaced as it was believed to be the cause of my coolant issue. It wasn't it seems.
So, run the car with the AC on for a short length of time - coolant fan remains on for a few mins.
Drive car, conservatively, for 20kms with AC off and fan remains on for a few mins.
Run car for 20+ mins with heater on (it blew hot!), reservoir Cap off. Coolant rises a little, top hose is hot (too hot to touch bare handed) and only a little harder than cold. Lower hose barely seems to change temp. Squeezed top hose and noticed leak under car. (See pics)

What's going on? And what am I looking at in these pics....
Taken from drivers wheel. No signs of leak looking into engine bay.
Thanks
