Are you sure it is leaking from the head gasket? I've got a leak on my Mustang that was the valve cover gaskets and it still leaked. I did some more poking around and it turns out the leak is coming from the back of the intake manifold where it meets the block. Apparently I didn't seal it up well enough when I did my cam swap. Point is, make sure you clean everything up and see where the leak is actually coming from and not what it is leaking down onto.
