Blown head gasket? I would get a new thermostat just to make sure it's not sticking or is faulty.

A little water will always come out of the exhaust. If you have a blown headgasket you should see blue smoke with a sickly smell coming out of the exhaust.

water leaking when you're driving? idling? or what? Or is it just condensation from a cold start up?

Forgot to mention that water does occasionally come out, if it drips out it's not unusual. Combustion ignites hydrocarbon chains yielding CO2 + H2O and various other chemical compounds. Are you still having over heating problems with the new thermostat and radiator?

yeah it sounds like a blown head gasket. do you have a loss of coolant as well but no obvious coolant leak?

Most likely head gasket and i don't think it could be thermostat or radiator because i have replace those and that's isn't the issue..

Head gasket. Check your block and head over real good before you put it all back together to make shure no further damage was done. Allways something isnt it?
