hmm...your best bet is to start the car and watch from where it's coming from. it's really hard to tell just by explaining.

when i took off the turbo mani i saw water in 4 and 2. hardly any in 2 but dripping for 4. Then when i took off my intake mani it seemed the the igasket wasnt sealing good and im believe its the intake mani gasket that is letting coolant getting into the cylinders.

i dont think the intake mani gasket would cause that, but a bad headgasket would let it into the cylinders. its there to keep oil and coolant from mixing and from getting into the cylinders (and many other things). id say you either got the wrong head gasket, or its a bad one.
