Thermostats typically don't fit in backwards.

When the car is on idle it didn't spill water or overheat

Step one, take everything off that you just put on. (paying attention to how it was installed)
Step two, read manual on how to assemble.
Step three, assemble the correct way.
Step four, drink beer and pat yourself on the back for a job well done!

I had a little leak (visible) on the older radiator for a year, but it got worse at once and I changed to a new one.
I changed it in a very good shop and I was checking all the process and the job was done well
and sorry, I don't drink beer

Just want to clarify.

I first notice it 2 road trips after the radiator changed (I don't use my BRZ as a daily), I am not sure if the problem started right away, I actually think that the older radiator broke because it was the "weak link" because the high pressure in the system, and now it goes to the cap.
so I tried to change the thermostat to a new one and still the same problem
My guess that is head gasket failure, my car had not very long ago a bad direct injector, maybe he made the damage (

I just want to be sure that is the head gasket before I take apart the motor and I don't find a way to be sure
