Here is my humble opinion,If you are having visible seepage than what do you think might be going on where you can't see ie; the oil holes and the coolant holes are next to one another which a properly functioning head gasket serves to preserve.How many miles on the beast?Aluminum heads and steel blocks make a head gasket a maintainence item at about 140k anyway.Keep and eye on temp gauge and check coolant light and oil in the coolant and viceversa.If you get coolant in your oil and you wash your pistons with it you have bigger troubles.My advice is to un-torque the bolts and trash them for new,pull the head off and send it out to be checked and decked and while your in there replace serp belt and water pump and any thing else you can get to and afford.o2 sensor thermostat etc.Good luck
