Head gasket

Have some water leaking from the front of the engine, looks like the head gasket, do the sixes blow head gaskets out like this, or does this sound like its cracked? Thanks

First, I would suspect your water pump is leaking, second I would look close at your hose connections.

Don't forget the t-stat housing. Frequently the nipple for the heater hose rusts out, and causes a coolant leak.

Checked again and it is leaking from the head gasket, going to try and retorque it down, will let it warm up first.
