Default water coming out of exhaust

so im driving the other day about 30 min and i can tell my ***** running hot. oil temp was at like 250.
i already fixed one other leak and welded the exhaust pipe where the seam was cracked and leaking water,
so at this point you would think that i wouldnt be losing anymore water. but every week or so i have to
top it off.
back to the story... after running for about 30 mins in traffic i stop and look under my car. glad that it wasnt
gushing water out...but then i see it steady dripping outta my downpipe. oh ****. i think its gotta be my
head gasket. this is confirmed by the sludge in my coolant res. we thought it mihgt be tranny fluid but
now im leaning towards head gasket. especially now that i know where im losing coolant.
