It may not be HGF ......yet.
FIND the leak and FIX it. (it may be a dodgy cap, a split hose, an inlet manifold gasket, a shot radiator, or even a ropey waterpump.....)
Bleed the system to remove ALL air, topping up as necessary.
..... drive cautiously and monitor for further leaks, airlocks and signs of HGF.
.... allow the engine to cool and rebleed the system.
Cross fingers and drive.
