My close coupled cistern has started leaking all the time, not just on flushing. I believe this is the seal between the bottom of the cistern and the siphon but should I replace the donut washer as well while I've got it off ?

Yes always best to replace donut washer 50% of the time it won't seat right again.

more likely just age
but cistern bleach blocks (which are very good for removing limescale) do shorten the life of rubber parts.
If you have a ballvalve with a stem going through the bottom of the cistern, this might be a good time to change its rubber seal. Consider a new Fluidmaster or Torbeck filling valve and flusher, they are amazingly quiet.
