If no coolant in oil and no white smoke from exhaust then Freeze plug probably fault. Get a second opinion

I can see along the edge of the head gasket, sitting in passanger seat, when van is running, fluid just shoots out, toward passanger seat. Do I have to replace gasket or can I use one of those sealants that you add, to seal holes in gaskets.
