Exclamation 97 Jeep GC Overheating. and spitting out antifreeze. HELP

I have a 1997 Jeep GC 4.0 l.
It runs and drives like a dream. But my biggest issue is its overheating.

I have replaced my thermostat 3 times aand my waterpump.
I can drive it into town just fine and stop and go to differnent stores. But it seems like everytime i try and go home it decides to run alittle hot. So when i shut it off it blows out antifreeze somewhere underneath towards my burp tank.

It also loses antifreeze randomly. Any Suggestions???? Please!!!!

I just tore it apart last night. Somebody told me there is 2 differnet style water pumps. So i did a pressure test before i tore the water pump off and sure enough, i found my problem(I hope) the side tank on my radiator is either cracked or its not crimped tight enough.
