88 SPG Coolant Loss Continued

First off, thanks to everyone who gave me some hints on why I'm losing lots of coolant. Well I'm still losing coolant with no obvious puddles on the ground. However, tonight after driving to work, after letting the car sit for several hours, I noticed that there was moisture on the block under the exhaust manifold side. Specifically on the flange between the block and the trany. Where is this coming from? Actually I'm in denial at this point so give me the bad news.
I just put this engine in. It was a good used engine with 130k miles. Compression on all cyl were in the 180's. However, I didn't change the head gasket (I know, I never learn my lesson). Also I've been running a lot of boost 15-18.
