Head Gasket job

Need an opinion,
I believe I need to replace my head gasket. Reaon for this:
1) Slow leak from I believe the Pass front area
2) Kida sweet faint smell of anti-freeze
3) I think a sputter from the engine when I jump on it, then is runs fine
4) Thought it was the radiator, Brought brand new and hoses
I have brought the head gasket kit and new bolts, since I had a co-worker who was going to assist at his house.
Recently he changed his mind and now I am consider doing it on my own. I have done some work on my cars back a few years ago roughly 10. I have most tools but the only tool I don’t have is a torque wrench. I priced new one from Sears and was going to do it in two weeks, after I finish staging my project (ie each step, color chalk, and digital pics during). Now the problem:
Coming home from Sam’s today in Raleigh, NC felt cold air and then the Coolant level light came on. Made it home
Open the hood and saw the hose from the engine to the firewall had a hole and was spitting out antifreeze.
So now I am probably going to replace it myself once I have the part or If I can find a mechanic who can either assist
Or has a decent rate (or maybe a auto school) in the Raleigh area.
Any Ideas, opinions or suggestions?
Regards,
KC
