Leaking antifreeze badly

It used to over heat alot from a small air leak from a blown head gasket, and after getting a new head gasket, new water pump an a new thermostat on it. It is leaking antifreeze very badly, from under the car(it is all over both sides of the car from where it is spraying out) it seems to be coming from back behind the intake manifold but I cannot be for sure. At this point im just at a lost as to what it could be. Any help would be very helpful, Thanks.

It sounds like a warped cylinder head-make sure the engine is cold and try torquing the head down again another 5lbs from specs.

Hi there.

A hose may not have been tightened properly. After any work like this the cooling system should be pressure tested to check for leaks. Or a hose may have ruptured, What ever the cause a mechanic will have to test the cooling system again to determine the cause of the leak, if this is not done asap you may be up for another head repair.
