Thanks all for your input, and Tony for your diagnostics. The boat is a semi trad, and the bilge is definately separate. 2005, I think and otherwise immaculate.
The cause of the water is allegedly a leak (only when hot) in the calorifier, which has since been remedied but the boatyard who fixed it didn't bother to vac up after themselves and told the owners it would dissapate by itself (which, knowing who it was, is believable). It was only 5 months ago, so not a long term problem. Concensus seems to be not to worry, but check with surveyor. Thanks, guys. We're finding an awful lot of frogs in this search, but this particuar boat seems quite the princess/prince. Another booked to look at tomorrow.
