well i thought that would be pretty obvious really, where your gasket has gone is inbetween the water holes and the cylinder on the gasket, i have a picture of a new gasket and they have reinforced around the water holes.

make sense?

HI Andie, get your thing checked. My car was overheating a few weeks back, i did the same thing as you i got new coolant n stuff, my car worked fine for about 2 weeks after that, n then bada boom bada bang. Dont wanna scare you or anything, but you know prevention is better than cure. trust me.
