depending on where this thing broke off (I think the threaded portion came out, leaving just the long shaft on the GP?) would depend on whether the threads would need to be reconstructed.
I'm going to venture a guess and say that a leakdown would be pointless...if there is coolant pouring out, the jacket has been breached. At this point the injector needs to be pulled, and a scope inserted through both the GP and injector holes to asses the damage. From there, post up the pictures and we will all mull over the best solution.
If the only alternative to an unconventional repair like I detailed is replacing the head, which the OP says is not an option, then we should get creative! If nothing else, we will gain knowledge of what the options for repairs are as this type of thing becomes more common as more GPs fail in the 606 engine out there.
