As far as I can remember there are no coolant pipes on the back of the engine. There are two pipes that supply water to the heater matrix for heating the interior of the car bolted to the bulkhead just above the gearbox / engine

There is a coolant pipe or two if I recall correctly under the front near side arches which is notorious for rusting and leaking, even if it's not leaking yet, I'd advise to get them changed due to the sheer temperatures this engine peaks to.
