Default Coolant Leak and overheat

K, i just got my B16a in and running, and now i'm getting mad that the thing is overheating like a bitch, first the fan would not turn on so i riged it to always run during engine operation, Then after i notice that i have Radiator fluid leaking from the engine. It is coming out right in front of the vtec solenoid, the spot which has a Silver Shiny ID number for OEM gaskets (where the head/block meet) fluid keeps coming out slowly but steadily. I'm wondering what this is, am i wrong in assuming that its a warped cyl head or can it be they sent me a gimp head gasket. i just had 300$ worth of cyl head work done before i installed it, new WP, Timing Belt, head gasket, the works. Tx for any help or tips

It could very well be a head gasket or a warped head. You will more than likely have to pull it back off to check. Make sure everything is properly torqued down before doing so though, it might save some trouble.
