You are having serious issues. I going to retell what I think you have said. Car overheats and uses or losses coolant. The engine smokes alot but under the hood. You put in a new radiator, not a used one right?

There are generally some smaller hoses that carry coolant and one of them could be leaking. The coolant must be hitting the exhaust system. Find the source of the leak and you might be ok. Are you sure it is not leaking at the radiator OR out the head?

The head could be warped. Heating the engine as you have mentioned does not mix well with a aluminum.
