An old mechanic trick was to paint both sides of a metal headgasket with
high quality silver paint, let dry and install as usual. I did this 2
years ago using 2 coats of silver engine paint. Gone many miles with no
leakage. This would not be recommended if you're using the latest
technologies in head gaskets.

block if this was not done. Sounds like you need to pop the head off,
replace the gasket, and add a little hylomar.
