are you sure its not just leaking from the valve cover? like a bad valve cover gasket or something. i can't see, nor have i ever heard of, a head leaking oil.

It's either leaking out of the valve cover gasket or the corner of the intake and running down the seam of the head gasket area. The head has no oil pass through it other than the oil returns.

a new gasket would most likely fix your problem.

clean it down first then locate the leak to be sure before throwing parts at it
