Strange coolant leak from front of engine

[mobilemech]

hi

my V Reg, 2000 Peugeot 406 hdi (110) estate has developed a strange coolant/ water leak from the front of the top half of the engine block. The leak is such that it empties the coolant within half an hour of filling the system to the top. I would add photos of the leaking area but do not know how to. If anyone can explain this to me I will upload them.

Does anybody know if this is a simple repair or would the complete head to be taken off repaired or replaced..

Thanks

Core plugs from any dealer they only cost something like six pence (£0.06) each, not sure where yours are mine was behind turbo had to take it off ,
car off the road for two days as dealer had to order them in.
