Engine Running! Bad Compression & Coolant Leakage :(
#2
Engines stored for a long time generally improve with running.

Was it in good nick before being stored?

I would:

Sorry, must have hit the wrong button.....

I would:
    
     check that the head is torqued down to 20 ft-lbs or so

    replace the fibre washers on the manifolds with silicon ones to reduce the leaks a bit

   probably put a tin of Radweld in

   drive it around for a bit, or if not drivable, run it for a bit.

Then have another look.

Hmmm.

Just looked at the vid - driving is going to be a bit tricky. Dodgy

Can't hear the engine because of the exhaust noise, but it started ok.   Very ok, I think.

Don't panic about water leaks, external ones are usually no great problem.

Having put water in it, though, take the plugs out, bring pistons up and check for water in the cylinders - internal leaks are much more of a worry.
