Default Head gasket or radiator?

I think my head gasket is blown, but just for safe measure, I want to see what you guys think. Here are some pictues of what it looks like. Sorry for the small pics, gay photobucket resized them... The red areas are where coolant WAS present, I wiped most of it away. The intake had squirts of it and it was pretty much all over the radiator. Theres tons of it on the splash gaurd under the radiator as well. My first impression was that the radiator had a crack. But now I think the HG is blown. I cant tell if there is smoke comming out of the exhasut because its too cold over here to tell if its smoke or just cold air. The oil doesnt seem to have any coolant present, and the motor doesnt over heat. I also have an assumption that the intake mani gasket is leaking.

I was a dumbass at 3am trying to replace my IM gasket and couldnt get all of the old gasket off, so I jsut put the new one on with some of the old gasket still on and put a bunch of silicone to keep a seal . If the HG is the culprit, I will deffinetly redo the IM gasket as well. So what do you guys think? HG?

Make sure your radiator cap is on - and if it is, do a pressure test on it - and if it won't hold pressure, just replace it.
