without actually seeing whats happening its hard to say,but if its coming out the spark plug couple of things could of happened, either they used the same old seals,or one of the new seals got pinched when assembling the engine or if the engine was ported they went too far. Is the car smoking at all? Double check all the hoses from the water pump and radiator just to make sure your not getting ahead of yourself.Who rebuilt the engine?

There's a coolant hose that runs under the oil filter that tends to leak due to the oil weakening it over time. Check that.

Upper Intake Manifold hose good ? The one under there when it leaks it will run down the engine at random places. I would pull the UIM off. and check the hose.
