Coolant leak help

Pictures of the deck surface and gaskets, pictures of the valley. You would not believe what the people here will see in a picture that a newer person might miss. Plus we like pictures. You can just pull the water pump off the timing cover and it might give you an idea of how rusty the rest of the system is. SUPER rusty, you might lean towards the cover leaking. Water that hasn’t evaporated out of the oil. can make you think you have an issue when you might not. When you put the heads back on, torque the heads down in sequence and let it sit overnight. Back each off a 1/4 turn in sequence and retorque. They will turn more. Like stated above, if something feels different or just weird ask.
