What does not holding pressure mean - sounds like vacuum test on coolant system - as Phil says, HGF unheard of on these engines
The coolant smells like exhaust, Compression test hasn't been done yet - was thinking of buying a tester lately

By not holding pressure i mean, that a device was connected to the Coolant expansion tank cap to build pressure (1.5 bar) and you could watch it get lower by the minute

There were no signs of coolant in oil or vice versa so far

HGF might be unlikely, but i heard of lots of cases of cracked cylinder walls
