WD-45 blown head gasket?

I just got this wd-45 and while driving it home after about 5 miles it was smoking out of the exhaust and it was leaking out the gasket behind the exhaust manifold. I am guessing and hoping its just a jead gasket if it leaking outside the block I would assume it would leak into the cylinder causing it to smoke? or could there be a crack? does anyone have just the head gasket they don't need or would sell? everything I see is for the whole gasket kit for the whole engine.
does anyone have any suggestions?
 

The exhaust must have a bad gasket..assuming you meant exhaust was leaking.

A smoky exhaust could be caused by needing an oil change, or worn rings..

Is the valve cover gasket leaking..?

Check the crankcase breather..

You can buy separate head and exhaust manifold
gaskets here on the Yesterday's tractors site under
the parts link. If it is pumping oil, it could be
worn rings, a broken ring or cracked piston. You
can pull the plugs to see which are oily. If the
rings are bad, you should have blow by also.
 
I meant what I said the head gasket is leaking between the head and the block behind the exhaust manifold and yes it is the seam where the head and block meet. I assume that if the head gasket is leaking to the outsi
de running down the block it could be leaking to the inside dumping oil into the cylinder causing it to smoke? It runs great and has good compression.
 
used one around here some place. free. pull head and inspect. use this one to put back together and sell or do the needed work and use new gasket. I can use a 45 for parts if it is too big of a project. Owosso MI
