Just changed all the hoses & thermostat on my 2000 land rover (over 100k) discovery last week. Now noticed antifreeze leaking under water pump- suspect it's going bad, am I correct?

Yes. there is a small weep hole in the snout of the water pump. if you see the coolant coming from there, it's time to replace it. coolant could also be leaking out of the front cover seal. but that would be lower than the water pump. check it well.

2000 Land Rover Discovery 2. I cannot find a leak detection pump but get a P1451 and P1481 code. Could this be the solenoid for the charcoal canister vent in the engine bay giving me the issues?.

Question edited for clarity.

My late mother worked at the Land Rover plant in Solihull and put careful miles on a Disco when it was known as the 'J Car'. Also the first Vogue with a turbo. Long time ago!

Engine is losing antifreeze. New radiator, thermostat and head gasket. No water/antifreeze in the base pan. Pressure tested and ok.

If it is not leaking try taking the top off the reservoir, crank it and let it warm up, if no coolent rises into the reservoir when it is warm, add some coolant until it just starts to fill the res...it might go down some then and more till it rises. if it does not rise or fall. Turn it off, let it cool the fill to the mark. If this aint it then it might be leaking....check the heater hoses and inside the care for coolant. might be the heater.
