Default Is my head or block cracked?

i had a earlier post about this, apparently i just bought a b20b from a jdm store in nj. After i installed it i noticed i was leaking coolant from my exhaust port shown on the picture below, my friends told me is my head gasket so i replaced the head gasket and after puttin everything together i noticed im still leaking from the same spot, does this mean i have a cracked head or my block?

Get the test kit that lets you test for warped/cracked heads. They're called block test kits most of the time and the fluid is blue
