Default Coolant leak

Hi... Im not very mechanical and so need some advice before i take it to a mechanic and trust their word is GOD...

I have a Falcon AU2 (156,000km`s) Last week it was a very HOT day and after I returned to the car I notcied coolant spewing out of the radiator over flow...

I checked the levels and they were still Ok and drove the car home again...checked the overflow and this time it was fine..

Since then the last few days I am getting a coolant leak but it is no longer from the overflow hose...

I took off the manifold cover today and when I started the car there was coolant leaking out of the engine block ...the part with the metal circles, but only one of them..i think this is the cylinder housings.???

Is this a blown head gasket as I fear..?

Ive read it can coast up to $1000 to be fixed...does this sound about right..?

Any advice would be appreciated..

Adam
