i had a badly burst head gaskit and found that oil on no7 bolt too .When i examined the head for warpagewith feeler gauges there was none but when i put the new gasket on the head and had a good look ,the water ways to no1 was badly corroded to the point where water could reach the metal seal ring of the gaskit and it was the same with cyl 1-2-3&4 .it didnt become totaly visable till i cleaned the corroded waterways with a scothbright pad and measured the clerence again. the only soloution for me was to get a second hand head which i fitted an the result was perfect :-). This may not be the problem with yours but you could examine the waterways just incase ??
Hope you find the cause soon and get the car running
Good luck
Lugs :-)
