sounds like you may have blown your head gasket.

 

you should rename your post so more people help you

 

I own a second gen 90 integra and believe me i have experienced some timing problems before!!!, but if i were to guess by the sounds of it you blew your water pump which is located right where the coolant is leaking... sorry take the valve cover off and at least check out what is wrong with it before over paying someone.... remove all the plugs and wires( mark each of them off) then take off the valve cover, after this remove the timing cover on the right side of your motor and just look at the water pump, I have seen water pumps that have believe it or not cracked and thrown an impellor and fucked all the timing gears/belts/ followed by the entire rotating assembly.
Once this is all apart just look at it and figure out the problem because id hate to see another proud owner of a teggy getting ripped off on a job that should cost around 350$$ if its just the WP

 

Maybe you just thrashed the water pump bearing.

 

forgot about that. i agree, check h20 pump.

 

Do a compression/leakdown test. The most common thing to happen when severly overheating an engine is for the rings to fry.

sorry to burst your bubble
but this is major damage
timming belt
seals
waterpump
resurfacing head
checking valves

good luck...
