BHG replacement, need pointers!

Thanks guys, appreciate it. My good friend who I mentioned in the previous post came over and had a look today. I don't think I have a BHG anymore, you can see a stream of anti freeze pouring out, on the far back left side of the motor (opposite battery side) right above the transmission and exhaust etc. Well normally a BHG is internal, correct? you shouldn't see the stream of anti freeze? I think it's a blown heater core hose or something of those sorts. Either way I have a certified mechanic who's willing to replace the head gasket and every other gasket needed along the way for only 500$ (and that includes parts costs, that';s my grand total!) saving me about 1500$ from my other quote from a local shop. Even if it is the hose that's the problem I think I'm going to have all the gaskets replaced anyways just to be safe and worry free for a while.
