    After the engine overheated, I found some weird gunk in my radiator

    Also sounds like with the coolant puking you might want to install overflow bottle. Check cap gasket also. Ditto the flush and fill w/antifreeze! Good Luck!

    oil leak additive?

    I know I'm not that bright or I would have a job right now but, can't you get new cork gaskets (No RTV) to fit by just raising engine with mounts loose, and dropping pan? I thought that's what I was going to be doing with my 67. Please advise!
