I went through this and Indie was wanting the whole head gasket replace. shouldnt be needed with these AL heads and AL engines and metal gasket. these cars most all need a head bolt retorque and check. this fixed mine finally after much worry and fuss. dry as bone now for 4 months. I also went ahead and did the PVC#6 update. both that and the head bolt check/retorque cost about $450 at dealer. the tech needs to measure the length of the head bolts as they are stretch bolts. call around to dealers with this discussion until you get one that knows what you are talking about. do a search on this site and you can find the service bullitin on the retorque. I had to shop dealers on this and discuss price before. good luck and I think this is a best first look if you havent already had the retorque done.
