My car was previously not leaking antifreeze out where it was visible. I have since replaced the thermostat and the surrounding gaskets. To my knowledge there is no hole n my radiator or reserve tank and the antifreeze is now pouring out on the ground.

The mechanic stated it may be a cracked head or gasket but their is no discoloration in my oil. I am noticing that the antifreeze seems to be pouring out in the vacinity of the reserve tank so I'm not sure what to look at next.

Justbecause it may be a head gasket or cracked head doesn't mean it will put antifreeze in the oil. Go with what he said.
