Re: head gasket
The LH pic just looks like the header weld is rusting.
The RH one looks to be a leak from gasket or header, and in either case it has to all come off.
Take some barbq tong and hold some toilet paper (unused) in the ends, while putting a cardboard deflector aft of the engine fan.
If the tissue paper blows from the exhaust coming out, you have a leak.
