When mine did that it was a split turbo hose. Nothing serious. New hose which took about 10/20 minutes to fix.
The gasket is leaking because the manifold has warped which has physically pulled the studs out of the head, yes it needs sorting as its will only get worse.
Nip the nuts up on the effect cylinder and see how long it is before it gets noisy again, might make a week if you are lucky.
Not a hard job, but you will need the manifold skimming and well worth doing the mods to stop it happening again.

Exactly what happened to mine !
I wouldn't like to guess how much. If the studs have snapped that will push the price up. It's ok to drive it for a bit if you need some breathing space, just means the mpg will drop and poss feel a little less power.
I ran my td5 disco with cylinder 1 and 5 without studs because it warped really badly. It used to scream like a banshee on acceleration.
