    Yes, and it isn't good news. The head has developed a crack/ fissure through to a coolant passageway

    This can occur if the head got hot, was machined flat on the surface, and refitted only to have residual stresses internally. When torqued down and tensioned, the crack may have occurred.

    Could possibly be welded/repaired, but it would entirely depend on where the crack starts and finishes
    Head off and back to a machine shop for a crack test and inspection...
