If it's a plug in the head you're talking about,if so it's probably from the smog pump IIRC and i've had it happen to me years ago?

It shouldn't have anything to with the engine overheating IMO unless the timing is off which IIRC is how it happened to me.

This is the only image I could find on the egr crossover tube. It should be your leak but it shouldn't have anything to do with your cooling issue as stated above. You can just make a small plate to cover the holes or put a frost plug in if you can get the right size.
