Hi
I have got an 1800 hippo, just had the headgasket replaced, the car did not overheat though, now find that it has got a bad leak coming from the front drivers side of the engine, looks like it coming out right near the corner bolt, also when I rev the car i hear a gurgling noise.
Is the gurgling noise because maybe it needs bleeding???? Also about the leak, any ideas??
Any help greatly appreciated as only realised it was leaking when a prospective buyer saw it.
 
Sorry did not make it too clear but when i said the car has had a new head gasket i meant just, not even done 5 miles since replaced. The head was skimmed, guess it need bleeding because of the gurgling noise but expected the garage (back street workshop) to have done this. It's the leak that bothering me.
 
Sounds like the water pump seal. The garage should have checked this. No point in bleeding, if leak is present. Take it back to them. Do they work on Rover cars?
You say it never over heated yet the head was skimmed. If the head was warped then there is a chance the liner has dropped = repeat hgf
