Mike, in addition to our prior emails, I don't recall you mentioning the hot running. Doesn't look good overall. Not too likely it's just the gasket, IMO. The K&W Block Seal helped out one person I know of, they left it in the engine overnight, THEN drained and waited the 24 hours to air dry as directed on the can. It helped for a few months but his symptoms are re-appearing now. He had lots of overheating in summer even with all new everything in the cooling system, and it would puke out the overflow tank. Kinda like yours but only when hot out and the AC on. Yours is worse, it's doing it in cool weather - d'oh! If you can stem the coolant loss with K&W, that may buy you some time to locate a used head...
