Paps, where you mean is leaking and what did you changed? Coz there are lots od radiator connected parts that could leak. If you say head gasket, it happened to me as well. What I did was put 3bond and increase more the tightening torque to 28.

Awts, headache. I would firstly say that the radiator is the culprit but since you changed it already, I think that's not the problem unless all radiator had leak already by chance but I think that is slim chance. What if, could it be that there is something hindering or clogged within the hose between the pump and radiator which as the water pump does its job and with that clog it created some pressure to the radiator until it given up? if there are big chunks contaminants in the water, I think it should as well ruin the impeller shaft.

Btw paps, a shop could give a hand to solder if the hole is small or even big instead of buying a new one.
