Hello looking for help identifying these bolts here with coolant seeping up from the threads... I am thinking that maybe they are head bolts and it might be time to replace the bolts and head gasket?? Any input would be great! THANKS
It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Somehow doubt if it is a gasket problem. From those photos it looks like you have a leaky plug for the coolant. I would start by removing those two plugs in the photos, clean up the threads, use some teflon tape and reinstall. Hose down the wet area. A 10 minute job. Top up the coolant and let us know the result. Bet that the problem plug is the front one.
Those are what I know as bleeder plugs to remove air from the coolant after flushing or refilling.
Looks to me like it's leaking from the threaded coolant plugs in your head. I would pull them out and use some teflon sealant of your choice and reinstall them.
