Default help!!!!!

Okay, I replaced my optispark a few weeks ago and the ICM and got it running. I put the water pump back on and drove it the next few days it would take a few minutes for the thermo to open. The the next day i noticed it was getting pretty hot and i took her straight home, I found it was spraying the coolent from what it looked like the hose to where it hooks to the thermo. So I replaced the thermo thinking it was going bad. I put the new on in drove it around the block and it read really low temps but when i pulled back in the drive it was pouring out coolent from the weep hole, and before i replaced the thermo i noticed I had low coolent.
