what do you call the rear port side of the engine, the area with all the bolts similar to the head,but rectangle,in shape,looks like one mybe two gaskets involved there?

That would be the exhaust port plate, and the exhaust port cover. Yes, there are several gaskets there.

can these gaskets fail and cause water in the cylinders?but still have a good compression check?
