Coolant in exhaust
Tried searching Wiki but couldn't find anything relating to Diesel engines, I have a 1.6 JX TD. Running well, no oil loss but we seem to have a very small coolant leak into exhaust / drive when van stands Resulting in white smoke as it burns off in first mile of driving, runs at good temperature and no other issues. However on Sunday a bolt sheared off the exhaust, can't see where coolant is slowly dripping from so not sure how to identify issue. Any advice?

Might not be, they can be repaired.
Used heads are readily available, lots of JXs out there
