I haven't heard of the gross steam emission you describe during acceleration though. Are you sure it was steam and not pale blue oil smoke?
You clearly have a coolant leak that's quite serious for this engine, so essential to get it sorted.

Pretty sure that it was white cloud and not blue. The car had been sat for a while I think due to me not having coolant to top up the level. Only happened once.
