Replaced water pump, thermostat, and some hoses. Now car is spitting out antfreeze when you drive it. It like its rejecting the antifreeze. Do you have any suggestions?

If you have coolant from the exhaust, then most likely there is a blown head gasket.

A head gasket can be replaced without replacing the engine.
