This is what I was thinking, my plan was to drain the res with a syringe before I start but as the pump is not the highest point will the rest of the water in the loop not just flow back down the pipes when I disconnect them? By the way slight update, I have NO IDEA why, but I have gone on today and my temps are about 10C better, between 55-60 at full load. No....Idea.

Probably an airlock that has come out as a result of pump not running and then being restarted. mine did it. I also changed the speed of my pump up and down and then moved the case about to help bleed air.
You could try clamping tubes to stop all fluid coming out, but to be honest i'd do it properly, just drain what comes out on it's own, swap the tubes around on the CPU block and then refill.
Yeah, I am resigned to the fact I have to give it a good go, I am going to leave it until the weekend when I can get a second pair of hands to help out again. I don't think it's going to imminently explode. (if someone thinks it will imminently explode, please tell me
