My Trooper (euro3) 3.0 has to decided to quite literally spit its coolant out, lost the lot!!

It appears to be coming out like a fountain at the bulkhead below the rocker cover roughly in the middle of the engine, it appears to be coming out of an aluminium section that runs below the rocker cover with a water hose attaching to it below the inlet manifold (if that makes sense)

What do I need to get to sort it?

Any help as always greatly apprieciated

water pipe split that goes around the back of the head to a thermostat for the egr cooler

does that mean that the aluminium bit that the pipe is attached to on the nearside has a pipe that attaches to it behind the head? if it does I'd assume it comes in from the offside?

ok it looks like its the nearside pipe to the egr cooler? ( that's if that one goes up to just behind the Dipstick / oil filler neck) got a finger tip sized hole in it
