No, you should never have to trim a head gasket. If the holes do not match up, you have the wrong gasket.

there should be an automatic tentioner on the serp. if not look at the alt it will have slotted holes to loosen up
Yes, but you would want to add the steam holes between the bores. Use a 400 head gasket for a template and drill 3/16" holes through to the water jacket.
As Long as both vans have the same engine... If they are both 3.3l's then yes the 95 trans should bolt right into the 1997, they are both 41TE and even the 2007's are still using the same transmission they are basically the same but you have a bracket on the 1997 that is not on the 1995 it is right on top of the tranny. You can interchange a 1997 tranny with a 1995 van because the 1995 voyager dose not have the bracket and you just Egon the 3 bolt holes on top of the tranny. I just put a tyranny in my 95 Plymouth voyager that came out of a 1999.but I don't know about backwards because of the bracket on top. The 1997 and 1995 may have different sensors and plugs which are not interchangeable.

With a tape measure.
it could be coming from a valve cover gasket that is leaking
It will be the only side all the holes line up with the holes on the block. Check it out, you'll see what I mean.
Cutting holes in a leather jacket can certainly be interpreted as damage, yes. But, adding studs, spikes, buttons, and chains to a leather jacket will inherently add holes, thereby weakening the strength of the leather and making it more susceptible to ripping and tearing. Or, viewed another way, one man's damage is another man's fashion.
picture rectangular shaped gasket, if 3 cylinders on each head each gasket has 3 circles representing cylinders and thin gasket maybe half inch wide between each circle then bolt holes for head bolts too ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------
If your coolant level is dropping, then it could be a blown freeze-out plug. These plugs (metal disks pressed into holes in the block and heads) are found all over the motor. Unless you have the very rare occurrence of one corroding out, you should have the engine checked for internal damage.
sounds like a possible leaking head gasket... and if its on the right side maybe a heater hose leaking or spraying into the holes..
Depending on the engine, it could be a leaking valve cover or head gasket.
