i think my head gasket is fucked. heres what happened.

sitting in maccas drive through and the temp guage starts to go up, so i put my heaters on, there stone cold!
steam pissing from under bonnet so i kill the engine and pop the bonnet, i find the turbo water pipe is split, i replace the pipe and put more water in the system.
the system keeps pressurising now and i have to keep releasing the pressure by opening the header tank.

what will be causing this and do you think it is the head gasket?

Sounds like the head gasket, because if it was letting air in that would then pressurise the whole system and cause you to need to let the pressure out through the header tank.
So i would say head gasket.
