block coolant pipe/ radiator maybe? are all the pipes and radiator warm after a run?

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

Are you blowing smoke? I don't want to make anyone suck eggs have you checked the oil cap for mayonaise? 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?

blue smoke from the exhasust and check the oil it may seem watery thats 2 ways of checking a blown head gasket

my 106 does the same. a diesel engine headgasket going is not as bad news as you think, unlike a petrol. i've been running over 3k miles on mine and its still working fine, just bubbles away. just keep the coolant topped up

Mate if you are from Birmingham, Try Alum Auto spares, It is around the corner from me, great bunch of lads, if they don't have one they will get one ordered in, usually same day, if not next. They are roughly around 20-30 quid.
