Default 997 coolant leak - main water pump?

Hi All

Newbie to all things 911 so sorry if this is considered a “stupid” question but I am looking for some advice around a slight coolant leak I seem to have.

I recently purchased my first porchse. It’s a 07 992.1.
it’s been appraised and it’s in fantastic condition for its age but does need some items sorting. Nothing serious though and no bore score etc.

the main worry I have at the moment is a slight drop of coolant from the OSF rear.
I managed to get my head under the car and found what I thought was the issue. The clamps had corroded.
a local independent specialist has had the car and replaced the clamp/cleaned the pipes.

got it back and all seemed well but the next day there is still a drop on the drive. Albeit a much smaller amount of coolant but still a leak!

Having looked under again it all looks ok so I am unsure what to do next.

photo below shows where the coolant is coming from.
do you guys think the clamp is tight enough/too tight which might be causing the issue?

I am tempted to take it back to the specialist but if it’s as daft as just nipping up the clamp I can do that and save myself the hassle of getting the car to them and obviously not waste there time.

any advice most welcome!

thanks
