looks like there is alot of rust in the cooling system id prolly want to do a complete flush on it...also how long before the thing dying on you did you check the oil? if this was a matter of days its prolly time for a complete rebuild... If you see no damage to a head gasket ( obvious leak) and no damage to a head its time to trash the block.... id seriously start lining up a motor .. also if the RMS is leaking you gotta pull the thans so with all that off its just as easy to pull the motor and do it right..... its better to do it right than do it ten times
