Hi Ben.

There was a lot of mayo in the filler neck but I presumed its because the car has only been run on the drive and not taken for a good run out. Check the oil on the dipstick and make sure thats clear.

Have you taken it out for a good run yet? Its hard to say because your HBV is leaking water badly which could account for the water loss and the car hasn't been driven for a while just started and run on the drive which could be the reason for the mayo.

Thats not good. Do the cooling fans kick in?

I would guess at Head gasket.Leaking HBV has allowed coolant to get low and the engine has overheated, blowing the gasket(s).
