Exclamation Overheatin question

Have searched and cant find anything relating to my problem as such

Car keeps on overheating... heres what i have checked.

- Leaks (there isnt any)
- All hoses changed in the last week
- Thermostat and housing also changed as the old one didnt open
- Checked coolant levels
- checked for air leaks and there is none
- Done a compression test and engine is all good
- Checked for oil in coolant and none.

Now here is the other thing. I had my gearbox fixed and got it back last monday and it has only been overheating since then. Never did it before i took it to get fixed. Have also noticed an exhaust leak in my turbo manifold. Looks like it wasnt sealed properly when they put it back on.

So now i am questioning whether or not an exhaust leak can cause an overheating problem at all seen as this has only started since the exhaust leak?

Thanks guys
