Leaking water coolant from rear of bike

Were to begin!!. My bike fell off it's stand a week ago and I cracked my alternator case. I took it off and repaired it with some liquid metal adhesive, all put back together then the problems started..... Got home one day and my bike was smoking like mad, looked at my oil and it was litterally bubbling!. After some investigation I noticed my exhaust was blowing on my oil radiator which I thought was the reason for my oil being hot. Took my radiator off anyway and checked it was all flowing anyway, took my exhaust off and repaired the hole. Put it all back together my bike is no longer smoking but my water coolant is being discharged from the rear of the bike when it gets hot? Also noticed there doesn't seem to be any pressure in the bottle when I open it? Really not sure what to try next. The bike is 1997 so depending in the cost I may scrap it if it's piston rings

Leaking, overheating --- fixed then puff of white smoke 1 week later

I'm not taking sides in this. So what I am going to say is more or less neutral.
There is a big possibility you damaged the head gasket when the engine overheated last week. The dealership would have no way of knowing this if it was not yet leaking into the engine when they replaced the water pump.
Once the water pump leak was fixed, the system would be running under normal pressure which could finish off the weak head gasket.
You can not see a damaged head gasket without removing the cylinder head. And you have two heads with two gaskets.
So, IF the head gasket is now blown there is a good chance they did not know it last week. It could also be a cracked cyl head or leaking intake manifold gasket. Or all of the above.

Clutch case cover is probably the one. This is dealer item, and you will need a new gasket.

check the intake gasket if it is leaking make sure the water pump is not leaking, check the heater core coupler sometimes those get brittle and crack.
