Question what happen if the LIM gasket is rotten???

I notice today after i took my car out for a ride..( yes i ran finally!! ) Smoke coming out from the Exhaust Manifold!! so i was thinkking ..
the car been down for few months and i notice that there was some coolant between the LIM and the block right @ those little pockets, which also the same place the fuel was gattering when i had that fuel leak.
so can it be that while the car was down those coolant and fuel leaks that i have ruin the Gasket!!?? and then now after the car got warn and manifold got hot the fuel drip out from the LIM ( we have 2nd daries on top
and ofcourse the Primaries spray almost right on top). and on to the Exhaust manifold?? which will be fatal . and i was thinking it maybe the source of the vac leak as well cos i'm idleing @ 1500rpm -2000rpm up and down. emm can it be?? any experience??

well i'm taking my car to class tomorrow. (Automotive class ) and taking it apart to find out for sure. and while the turbo is out...can we say wastegate porting!?

well that's ll i got, hope i'm right, but all input are welcome.
