In fact it's driping out of what I'm guessing is a fixing hole of some sort .. or I could look a complete Wally and it's something to do with overflow???

Yes that's the expansion tank overflow. The tube runs up into the cap. did the car get real hot?

It may be that the cap is getting tired. Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse grab a cap from ebay or Ford.
