On my recently purchased Disco 2 td5, amongst its other issues, is the water leak out of the expansion bottle. If this if filled, when I stop after driving far enough to get it up to temperature, it seems to deposit the contents of the expansion bottle over the road, or drive. The water is clear, and there is no evidence of it escaping anywhere else, or any emulsion in the oil filler cap. My mate suspected some heat sink issue which caused the pressure to build up once warm. Would this suggest a cap maybe or a crack. I can't obviously see one but I wondered if someone had had similar issue.
I don't reckon on head gasket (hopefully) but I like it dripping water less than I do a small oil or diesel drip.
