Edit : I found the cork gasket.

Now about the above photo: I think it could be the pan gasket?!
I think that could all be from the one leak at the valve cover gasket. Leaking in through the top of the bellhousing and out the bottom. I would start with fixing that and getting everything washed off and cleaned up well, then see where things go from there.

Be sure to use the rubber one-piece type, not another cork one for that valve cover gasket! And also make sure all the studs are screwed all the way into the head so that their shoulders are sitting flush on the surface. If they are partially unscrewed it will prevent the gasket from clamping down and sealing up.
