V8 discovery at a guess

Hello James, its a V8 Discovery, i had a leak from one of the engine core plugs so i put Kseal in the header tank and it sorted it, then i was doing a 100 mile trip and it started overheating and blowing water out of the header tank. it seems the viscous fan isn't working and i don.t know whether the kseal has caused this or whether it is a coincidence....

Hi, its a V8 Discovery, it overheats after about 60 miles,not loosing water until its boiling and trying to escape out of the header tank. most peoples immediate reaction is head gasket gone but i'm not loosing water,no signs in the oil,no white sludge under cap, this only started to happen after i put some k seal in it to stop a leaking core plug, but i have noticed the viscous fan isn't working properly and don't know whether the k seal has caused this or is it a coincidence........
