TBH head gasket sounds like the best outcome you could ask for. If you've cooked your engine it could have seized.

Try turning it over by hand.

It turns over fine, I've found the leaks from the hose were it goes into the engine and on the flange on the right hand side of the engine it gushes out from both of them

Mine did this, but it was a new engine. What happens when you try starting it?
