Head gasket most likely don’t think it’s possible for turbo to contaminate coolant. Due to age of vehicle I wouldn’t recomend doing the head. Buy a bottle of steal seal £30 flush the cooling system fill it up and read the bottle directions. This will permenantly seal the head or your money back. May get you some more miles out of her at not much cost. Hope this is helpful

I’ve just had the radiator reservoir replaced and a rocket cover kit done. But Everytime I turn off my car I can still hear a motor running for about 3-4 minutes then it just stops.
