JCB 8014 smoking heavily - water loss? overheated?

[MatcherMike]

I have an old JCB 8014. Was being used by a friend and apparently started smoking and i'm worried has overheated.

Now smokes very very heavy after running for a few minutes under load. Also appears to have water leaking from the side of the engine, but not apparent where from.

Is anyone able to advise likely issue please? Is it head gasket? Or cracked engine?

Can provide more photos and video if needed.

Thanks
Mike

looks to be coming out the block to me ... too low to be a head gasket

I'd start with a high pressure (or steam) cleaner to get rid of any crap on the surface, then use a dye crack detector.

Better to know the block is cracked before you lay a spanner on it.
If the dye says the outside of the block is ok, I'd check the top face once you have the head off.
