Default coolant coming out the exhaust!

anyone ever had this on a cossie. quite a lot of coolant spraying out the back of the turbo. (turbo water cooling not connected)
took the head off and can't see any cracks anywhere in block or head. gasket not visibly gone.
are there any common places I should be looking at?

cheers

you sure it's coolant?
because if it is, your cars broken
and if it's broken, you want it to be doing just a head gasket, and you don't want to be running it at all or else you might find you get hydrostatic lock, which bends your engine even worse

thanks. It's actually a 202 block. couldn't see any cracks, just completely vertical scratches I thought off the pistons.
Is the '11 O'clock' looking down into the bore from in front of the car?

yes it's coolant. don't worry I know my car's broken. It won't go back together until I find the fault but I can't find the fault yet..
