The gasket may not be sealing around the bolt on the clyinder, thus making it leak, try replacing the gasket. make sure to clean the surfaces smooth as it may have old gasket material on it making it un-even, thus making it not seal properly.

hey, r u sure thats your mates bike and not yours again lol.
take the cylinder head off and have a look at the gasket and u shity just put a new one in. and buy some of that gasket sealing stuff, dont know what its called but its sticky and brown.

also - make sure u use a torque wrench to tighten it up so its all even.
i had a cracked head on my old ktm 125 and it was fine when we torqued it up , not so good when we did it by hand.

i wouldnt use that Gasket Glue on the head gasket, being a metal gasket, it will all just squeeze out, and go into the cylinder, start going all gummy and hard, catch a ring... then BANG!!!
thats what i was told by a fully qualified bike mechanic- the only dude i trust with my bike, so keep that in mind if youre considering using it

thats funny, cause that was your problem all along, im guessing if you ever changed your oil, it was milky, and the reason your losing coolant is the head gasket, redoo, it and check your hear motor mounth
