In your case it is worrying not knowing where the leak is , your engine doesn't blow headgaskets unless severely overheated ..

I am also very keen to know where the leak is/was. I came across another forum where the owner reported a head gasket leak allowing coolant into the exhaust side. I'm guessing this was a similar issue as even before the k-seal went in there were no signs of water mixing with the engine oil and the coolant was clean. I was checking the coolant resovoir tank for bubbles but it was difficult to tell as the return hose attaches to the top of the vessel and flows down the side.
The car had a recon turbo fitted just prior to purchase in an attempt to fix the smoke issue. The diesel specialist that tested the injectors said it was odd that all the injectors were bad and also noticed they had blueish tips. He said it was possible that when the turbo failed some oil made its way into the cylinders causing the engine to runaway and overheat also causing head gasket failure. It's just a theory but he seemed to think it was likely.
Either way I've been doing around 60 miles per day for the past two weeks and it's all good. No smoke at all and it's not burning any coolant or other fluids.
