did you fill it to the top or to the max mark?

 

If its coming out the back though it does sound like the a HG. When you say all the other joints, where do you mean?

i mean every joint on the exhaust where theres a clamp its mainly out of back box but all the exhaust joints are letting water out i fill the expansion tank to full to bleed the system as it had no water in it when i brought it of a bloke

Either head gasket or cracked head. You need to remove the head and see what is what.
