   no water runs near the inlet. Are you sure its water and sure its coming out the manifold?

   if its a 1.1 single point they have water running in them. The seal could of gone or the nipple on the bottom of the manifold corrodes and leaks some times

   yea if its a "whitey" colour, that means coolant and oil are mixing together, meaning you could have blown your head gasket, dip you oil and check what it looks like on the dip stick, have you overheated you car at all?
