May be the water pump. The fan can throw water all around. Water pump is
readily available for around $150, or try Beck/Arnley part # 131-0465
(listed as correct but haven't tried it, under $60 at
www.partsamerica.com). I've had head gasket leaks but never leaked lots of
water; either pumped the coolant full of exhaust (overflow tank spits out
air) or made frothy root beer out of my oil.
