You know that it went out of this port?

The head gasket has probably gone but there could be several reasons why. It is also possible that the head is cracked and leaking water. When fitting a head gasket it is imperetive that the head bolts are tightened down correctly. It can also be useful to put some lubricant on the gasket so that it can move when tightening. You should also have checked the head for distortion, it must be flat.
