possible blown head ???

[kodi]

hi so i have a 2001 rs four stagea and was driving and the car over heated and blow the radiator 
iv had the car towed to a work shop so can fix it and went and brought a new radiator and was going to fix it tomorrow 
the owner of the work shop has done it for me and has rang me and said its done the head due to it just bubbling over and spitting every where 

they also said that they found some red liquid in there that they said was seal tight?
 

 

how do i go about making sure it is the head/head gasket? 
how much am i looking at to fix it

If its indeed bubbling over because of head gasket and not just air bubbles, it will be exhsust gasses getting into cooling system. A tk test should be able to confirm. Google tk test for explanation. I would be making sure its been properly bled first. Head gasket replacement with labour will be a lot of $, 2-3k depending how far you go with servicing head, replacing timing belt, head studs and associated bits and pieces.

ok so im going to check if its the head gasket  tomorrow if it is ok ill replace it

if it turns out that its not the head what could be the cause of this problem

[admS15]

Air in the system. Try bleeding it using the funnel in the rad technique with heater set to hot and running on full. Google again will show you what you need to know.

 

Is it a turbo engine?
