Black rubber pipe that runs into the engine just in front of the steering wheel. Its leading a green fluid, which is causing excessive amounts if smoke. I'll get the pipe number shortly

you mean in front of the power steering pump? Most likely coolant pipe of some sort...as mentioned by SWC...most likely coolant.

And it looked like smoke, but realised later that it was just excessive amounts of steam from the fluids evaporating.
