check the small pipes from the cylinder head/radiator to the expansion tank , if its blocked it can cause similar symptoms like yours.(hissing and bubbling)

Guys checked all the pipes they seem clear....
There is no water in oil checked dip stick and cap no mayo and I've not put in any oil over the 9months I've had it (7k miles)
It passed the chemical test on expansion bottle but every symptom still points to h/gasket as I've also had bubbles/foam coming out of the expansion spout?
Could a failed oil cooler give these symptoms of a h/gasket fail?? Even blocked rad.
Cheers

Tbh I paid £400 for it in jan I've used it for work so it's made me some penny's and I'm getting quotes for around £150 to scrap it so I can't complain... An all zone bus pass would have cost me a fortune in that time lol ..
If a cheap bargain came up again I would defo have another jed...
