Well the only way u would know if the head is cracked is by removing it and sending it in for pressure testing.

Is it leaking inbetween the head and block (at the gasket)?

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on :driving:

Water coming out of a head bolt does not sound promising at all. My guess is strip and get it pressure tested.
