Cool 99 escort

I have 99 escort blew head gasket between #3 and #4 cylinder replaced gasket. Car runs good but a loud squeeking noise after investigating,the flywhhel is rubbing against the block as it spins,and transmission is leaking a little from around torque converter and flywheel area. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Take a really good look at the flywheel flexplate. Look for cracks !

I noticed the motor or transmission mount{the one under the radiator}is definately wore out and dry rotted im wondering if that would allow the transmission to sag and torque converter to put pressure on the flywheel ??idk

One way to be sure, replace the defective mount(s) , then see what happens.
