NA engine was under negative pressure so i doubt it would cause the coolant to blow out. i could be wrong though

Thats usualy a given sign of a blown headgasket. Also pop out your themostat and make sure it opens and closes properly.

There's also no water mix in the oil as i check the oil cap and dipstick regularly anyway is it cylinder pressure escaping directly into the water perhaps?

They are roughly around 20-30 quid.
