Got to the garage yesterday and found the first surprise, a puddle of what seems to be coolant under the gearbox:

Been talking to Mike Ward about this, he made me check a few places (engine, around the pulley and in the VOD to make sure that was dry and it seems to be pretty much dry. He mentioned the issue here could be the heater valve.
Also (and I partly knew about this), my car's fans are constantly going, the seller had bypassed the otterstat (probably broken) to avoid overheating. That said, I discovered the otterstat cables have been cut off on the opposite side (not on where the female connectors are) and just joined there, which makes no sense.... also the otterstat itself is not secured at all with clamp or cable ties....

Any insight on this would be much appreciated!
