As others have said, no sealant is needed on 8V H-enginge VC gaskets. You must have a crack or other such damage to the VC. These usually really seal tight and dry. If it's as profuse as you describe, it can't be hard to find. The one real puzzler I had with that engine was where a PO/bonehead lost one of the hex-bit (Allen) bolts for the VC and substituted a 10mm longer one. This punched out the bottom of the threading in the head into the water jacket giving a slow, persistent coolant leak. I doubt the same liability exists for the oil gallery though.
Stick with the CIS system. It is very simple and reliable.
