Possible head gasket failure
#1
Sad 
First off I think I brought a shitter , nothing but trouble since I got it......
2 weeks after buying one of my injector pipes snapped off at the pump union nut,fixed that easy job been running ok for 2 weeks. Got diesel leak from one injector or the leak pipes. The revs were high so adjusted that, then got a squealing noise from around the belts but wasn't too worried as my missus car does this, but what did worry me was I noticed the temp gauge instead of staying around 80 would go up to just over 90 and the fans would kick in and it would drop for a bit before doing it again.

The other day after a ten mile drive I returned home to steam form the bonnet, popped the hood and water was pissing out the rad reservoir overflow pipe.

Now this has s@@t the f@@k out of me so much I don't want to drive it, after googling I started the engine cold with the rad cap off and gave it some power and noticed the water in the rad was moving the higher I revved the engine as to say air was being pumped into it

It still starts and drives fine , I'm thinking either my water pump has gone, my head gasket has gone between combustion chamber and water or worse case both have gone.

If it is my head gasket what's the average going rate and would it be possible for a novice with limited space and tools to accomplish the task.Confused
