Sounds like a head gasket to me. Pretty decent hole if you're ending up with coolant in the exhaust. I'd suggest with a leak that bad your k-seal stuff won't last long.

Leak sealer is a temporary fix to get you home. As TJ says, sounds like a head gasket if you are lucky or a cracked head if you are not. Don't rely on it keeping on working. Get it looked at and my guess is nobody will be able to tell for certain without the head being removed.

Interested to find out how long K Seal lasted and whether you removed head?
Regards Brad

Playing with fire IMHO. If the sealant lets go and water leaks into the cylinder, there is a high possibility of copping hydraulic lock which equals a full engine rebuild.
Good stuff for emergencies. I used Silver Seal on my Corolla which kept it going for three years. It was an external leak, though.
Pull the head, get it crack tested and machined, then fit a new gasket for the win.
