Default Help!!! Blowing coolant out !!!

Hello, new to the forum here and in need of Serious help!!!

It all started when my car started using a little bit of coolant and upon adding the coolant I noticed that it was bubbling and sort of spitting the water back out so initially I thought head gasket even though there was no water in the oil or steaming out the exhaust… So I tore it apart changed the head gasket put it back together with a new thermostat and it’s doing the exact same thing!!! the lower radiator hose was not getting warm and neither one of my heater hoses are getting warm and obviously the heater is not blowing warm air… I’m at a loss and could use any suggestions or advice!
thanks in advance!

I’ve never seen a water pump do that before… normally they leak when they are bad ,

its either your water pump or radiator. water isnt moving if your rad hoses arent getting hot

Yeah that makes sense, when water is added to the radiator it sounds and looks like it’s hitting a red hot frying pan, cracks and pops and spits it back out!!
