Coolant leak following clutch renewal

I had my clutch renewed on my 2015 1L Zetec S and after a short drive I could smell a faint burning smell and when I opened the bonnet the coolant reservoir was bubbling. I also noticed a small amount of coolant leaking from below on the drivers side towards the rear of the engine. With this having an under tray I can't see where from exactly. Can't see anything from the top side when the bonnets open. I'm obviously taking this back to have this investigated further but was wondering if this a an issue I need to worry about, i.e. a blown head gasket???? My thoughts are what ever the leak is has caused the cooling system to lose pressure meaning the coolant is now boiling and hopefully once the leaks fixed everything should be fine 🤷. Cars only done 35K miles so hopefully not a big issue after paying out to renew the clutch. No raised heating issue indicated on the dash either.
