Put your hand (with engine off) on and around the water pump. The new Tstat caused a weak water pump to go south?
If all else fails, get a radiator pressure tester, pump up to 15psi and see where it leaks. Use the tester a your local AutoZone.
Good luck.

Sounds like a leaking water pump weep hole.
Are you seeing characteristic traces of coolant stains caused by the serpentine belt slinging coolant on the hood insulation? That's a dead giveaway....
