your mechanic managed to botch the TB coolant lines! The VC gasket is sometimes surprisingly difficult to fit properly. Since one has to insert the gasket in the cover and then turn it upside down, there are opportunities for the gasket to fall out in whole or part before it seats properly, or to line it up improperly. This is an easy job, and might be worth your trying yourself to see if the mechanic didn't seat the gasket properly.
Also, did he replace the distributor cap o-ring? This thing is a consistent drooler on these engines.
