Coolant pouring out of TB upon throttle!!!

So Ive replaced my LIM & UIM Gasket Spark Plugs CPS

1) Car started up fine blew some smoke from existing coolant on the cylinders

2) Took it for a spin and it overheated, took it home popped the hood and everytime i engage the throttle COOLANT POURS OUT OF THE END OF THE TB!!!!

any ideas???
 


I did take it off but cant tell where it is coming from...Are there coolant lines that go to the throttle body??? and if my Tb wasnt tight could this be a problem because its a brand new gasket
 


I'm assuming n/a L36?

Yes, if the TB nuts are not tightened properly, or if they can't be because the retained nuts in the UIM are spun, or the UIM is cracked, warped or broken, or the TB gasket is broken or rolled or not installed right, then coolant will spill out between the UIM and TB.
