Default cossy problem

cossy 2wd 205 block water leaking from head and block were the gasket meets i think it could be a headgasket leaking from the side but also none them to crack across the water ways in the block and leak as it only leakes when you rev it you can see 1 drip runnig from the block its under nith the zourts manfold side so what do you think head gasket or cracked block as costomer dont have to much money to play with as a 200 block would be to much for him at the moment it was a group a head gasket and runnig 330 bhp 1.5 bar its leaking across the hole side off the block so not realy only one side but on the side of the turbo no misfire or smoke but runns out off water often

i'd say gasket. have had this before in exactly the same place.

then again, i've had a crack between the waterway and the head bolt hole as well in that area. that didn't leak or anything though and i drove it for a couple of thousand miles on stg 1, and another couple on stg 3 and it never caused a problem. changed the block anyway though, but only to another 205. it's plenty good enough for stg3.
