Problem

I think my intake manifold gasket broke, there's radiator fluid leaking out all around the front of the manifold, at first I thought it was coming out of the water pump area, so I replaces it and the gasket, It helped releave pressure for a little while, the old pump had 178K miles on it, but then a few days ago my engine got a little to hot and it started again, this time I noticed where it was coming from, I was just wondering about how long and what would go into fixing my little problem? Thanks for the help, when I get some.

Its possible it caused a headgasket to fail if the motor got very hot.
