It sure is hard on this end to imagine coolant just pouring out. At first I thought it was the head gasket!

YES, there is a sealant and not a paper gasket for the cam cover. The OEM sealant is quite expensive, but you will be able to get the cam cover off. Regular RTV will make removal impossible.

Get a 1 inch foam roller to put the adheasive down, nice and thin but uniform. Then put the cam cover back in place. I would wait at least an hour before topping off the antifreeze.

No paper gasket.
