JCB 8014 smoking heavily - water loss? overheated?

[MatcherMike]

I have an old JCB 8014. Was being used by a friend and apparently started smoking and i'm worried has overheated.

Now smokes very very heavy after running for a few minutes under load. Also appears to have water leaking from the side of the engine, but not apparent where from.

Is anyone able to advise likely issue please? Is it head gasket? Or cracked engine?

Can provide more photos and video if needed.

Thanks
Mike

Could the smoke be steam coming off the engine when the water leaks out of it or is it black smoke?

Thanks you for your reply. No it's black smoke from the exhaust. And the engine does seem hot.

Head gaskets gone or piston rings split

That's f**ked

Yup! It's pretty bad. Am just trying to assess if it's new engine, or new block etc to repair.

Find a good used engine.
