Cooling Issue and Update on 87 300TD

Just wanted to update my progress with 87 300TD. 188,000

Replaced fluid and Seal/filter in Tranny and added Trans X (Car now engages and seems to be working properly)

Car is running warm. I do not let the car get past 100degrees. I just replaced headgasket. No way do I want to pull it again.

I removed the top radiator hose and no water is circulating. I believe it is probably a bad waterpump. Water should be circulating. (Let me know what you think) I did replace the thermostat with oem from benz.

I cleaned the injectors with diesel purge and replaced filters and also cleaned fuel tank filter. Nailing settled down and smoothed out. 3 out of the 6 injectors are leaking and there is some grey smoke coming out. Do you recommend rebuilding them?? I am leaning toward that. Need opinions.

So my two issues now are cooling and smoking. Need your help. Thanks for all your suppory guys!!!
