sprayed carb cleaner around intake manifold and on all hoses and there was no leak..... I have heard that if it was the head gasket wouldnt it blow white smoke out ...? might not be right but just heard that.....

Check your oil for mikly coloring, the anitfreeze could be leaking in the motor. A blown headgasket usually mean white puffy clouds coming out the exhaust. The coolant has got to goes somewhere, it just doesn't vanish. Find where its going and you will find the problem.
