I don't have a way to zoom in, but you described it like the gaskets are soaking up coolant like a sponge and leaking out the outside. Definitely a gasket issue. Time to use something different.
Exactly mate, when a ball/drop of coolant appears on the very outside edge of the gasket not the face it can only be seeping it through the gasket material. An engine builder friend of mine has seen it happen on a chevy that he built with felpros.
