1993 ford escort 1.9L with 350000km overheated last week and replaced thermostat thinking that was the problem... didnt fix it so i then re routed around heater core and also not a fix. didnt think to fill antifreeze because overflow was full and stays full. filled up on antifreeze and the car stopped overheating but now is leaking onto driveway and needs to be filled every 2 or three drives to work could this be a blown head gasket or would it be a hose or radiator leak also makes a bubbling or boiling sound after shut off when driven a long distance
(just removed hyperlinks)

You really need to pressure test cooling system to force the leak and isolate it. Clean off areas first if needed to see it come back. If it makes it to ground you can find it. Check oil also for contamination and hope it not a headgasket but it could be,
