   If its left idling or driven hard it blows the bottom coolant hose off and dumps the lot. Head gasket issue?

   hmmmm well you're bound to be losing compression if the gasket has gone and it's pressurising the cooling system.
   
   soooooooo get a compression test done.
   
   you want all the cylinders to be within about uhh 10PSI of each other or so.
