Sorry mate, sounds like head gasket.
The damage may have been done last time it over heated.

 

but but nuuuuuu..the guy who fitted all the parts i got,said he checked,theres no goo in mixing with the other,which is a sign,and wouldnt it over heat while running over? or just when driving?

 

Scoobs dont always have a mix... Exhaust gases creating a bubble as such within coolant sysytem early sign..

 

this is gonna be very expensive,isn't it T_T

 

well yes... not £50 anyway..
