Default gasket replacement question (leaking)

i saw my motor is leaking both engine oil and coolant. Is there a specific gasket i can replace to fix this problem? The front of the motor has oil (below the valve cover) or may be it's where the headers are.

help appreicated! thanks

is the head gasket where the header is? or do i have to take the motor apart where the cylinders are?

def sounds like a head gasket..the head gasket is the gasket between the block and the cylinder head...depending on how long its been leakin or if its blown, i would have your head checked for any damage to valves, etc

Just get a FULL gasket kit for your specific motor off Ebay and you'll be able to correct any leaks or issues for your entire motor.
