Yea they do head gaskets, like most small diesels.

Check all the heater lines that it is not that - most have a rear heater too so there are heater lines under the vehicle.

Yeah place i work at on mondays had 3 of these do headgaskets within a couple of weeks, cant remember exactly but you can just chuck a new gasket in either, something to do with blocks warping? and cant be resurfaced?
