From the pictures it looks that the coolant was just leaking out the side and down the block. I don't see any leaks across the cylinder sealing surface. Poor quality gasket? Is there any reason you can't use a MLS gasket?

Looks exactly like mine when they went out...fel-pro gasket too! I was too lazy to change both so I only changed the one that was leaking; everythings ok now..

Next time will be MLS for sure!!
