Cylinder head water leaks are typically caused by a few key factors: deterioration of the head gasket due to age or overheating, cracks in the cylinder head itself, or improper installation. Corrosion and wear over time can also weaken seals, leading to leaks. Additionally, excessive pressure from the engine or coolant system can exacerbate these issues, resulting in water entering the combustion chamber or escaping externally.

Overheating will blow the head gasket and/or warp the cylinder head. In the worst scenario, the cylinder head probably cracked and allowing water to get into the piston(s) which is probably why the vehicle won't start.
