190E Coolant loss out the overflow tank tube

Kinda scratching my head on this one. The car would keep losing coolant and I would see it come out the overflow tube on the expansion tank. Upon further inspection the weep hole on the water pump was also dripping. So I replaced the pump yesterday. The car doesnt over heat before or after the pump replacement...goes up to 100 fan kicks in, and down to 80.

It still likes to spit out coolant from the overflow tube to the point it gets low and the dash light comes on. The head gasket was replaced twice last year according to previous mechanic bills. And no I dont trust the quality of their work as they reinstalled the wrong type of spark plug wires and left a couple bolts loose. Remanfactured head installed by previous mechanic last May.

1987 2.3 16V 177,000 miles. On the plus side it pulls like crazy and idles at 1,000 when at running temp. I do have an issue when the ICV is plugged in....it stalls.
