Default and another problem [over heating]

as most of you might have read my prevouse threads ive had that many on here over the past 2 weeks i took all the turbo pipes and the coolant pipe that goes fron the radiator at intercooler side then goes into hte block, after a run today noticed steam coming from the bonnet it didnt read on the temp gauge i was c0ooking but the anount of steam that came from the header tank when opening slowly was unberlivable im suprized it didnt explode, now im thiking its a air pocket but it seems like water is geting into the rocker cover as when i take the yellow cap of the top its white sludge so i was thinking head gasket buti changed the oil and no sighn of water in the bottom at all, maybe the water and oil are mixing in the turbo that might be the problem im having with the turbo[ the water thats used to cool the turbo] any ideas any 1.
1 more thing i was givin diffrent advice on hear other day as to wether the brown battery leads go to live or neutreal like a div i wired them to live with out checkin proply first any way now the main beam wont come on side lights do was a bit dodgey driving back in the dark tonight i can tell u also the indicators dont work but hazards do, ive checked all the little fuses but none are blown any ideas on this 1 any1
