1992 900s turbo overheating!

I've had a nightmare.
My car was hit by a piza delivery boy, the damage didnt seem to badd jus the fron near side lights needed replacing. Lucky!
Well no. It turned out that the radiator had been slpit and the car overheated. Now I can dive for a bout 10 mins and all the water in the car leaks out in seconds!
I've replaced the rad but this still happens!
Since the over heatignthe car runs very roungh and white smoke is coming from the tail pipe. I think the smoke is due to either head gaskt ( explains the rough runningg) or the turbo seals. I can hadle this but I can find the water leak. I have replaced all the pip clips and made sure the water pump is ok. It seems that the presure buids up so much the pipes feel like they are goign to pop! I have noticed some small hairline craks i nhe water botle but I cant tell if this is the leak. The rare the water is coming from is from the water bottle sde of the engine. The first time it overheated one of the heater pipes blew off at the nuckle joint. This has been replaced also.
Not good at all!
The wrst thing is the insurnce have paid out for the repairs to what I thought was all the damage.
I have a head gasket set so I'm goign to do that anyway but I'm not sure if this will fix the overheating probelm.
Any help is much apreciated.
