Coolant forced out of header tank cap and hissing out of bottom right bolt of four that looks as if attaches manifold to turbo .Looks exspensive.Why would water be coming from turbo bolts if this is the problem ,and does anyone think it`s HGF? I`m thinking the worst. I haven`t attempted to start it at all. Any advice would be much appreciated,Regards Paul

HGF and the water is in the exhaust side or Oil cooler oil & water are no longer separate... therefore the water is in the oil system and pumped round the turbo bearings... and the rest of the engine possibly.... oooo errr
