Angry If97 accord steams once turned off

if someone could please help me because im at my wits end. All my problems started with my cooling fans, they didnt work turns out it was a faulty motor. Then my thermostat went bad we replaced it. Next day I notice a large leak I call my buddy who works on my cars to come have a look he found it to be my water pump. Durning the reinstall of my water pump he discoved my head was cracked as well so we replaced that as well. Three days later car is leaking again he came checks takes is back again now my freeze out plugs are shot he replaces them all but now when you drive the car and turn it off it starts to steam... Hes at a loss he cant find any other leaks we r not sure what it could be does anyone have.any ideas?

sounds like one abused car. Do you have the coolant full? There is a vent plug on top of the block that can be removed for coolant fill. Otherwise steam could be a leak
