  How big of a crack or "hole"??
Discussion on FordBarn recently about this, water glass recommended by Ronnie Roadster.

  It looks like someone drilled out a broken head bolt and went to deep, went through the side of the exhaust port. Iam thinking of putting a longer helicoil in it with a plug at the bottom

  HI Water in exhaust
does the radiator build up pressure,?
or water just runs out the exhaust, does the engine have to be running, ?
this is not good, for the cylinder,
I would drain the cooling system soon as you can to prevent further damage,
and see it it can be repaired,
hope you make out ok, 37Ragtopman
