Has anyone got a solution to the oil gallery leak in the front of the motor which feeds the rockers,oil seems to leak between the head gasket layers and run down and pool on top of the cam chain-gear housing.Maybe a copper washer around the oil gallery hole between the block and head which would be compressed when heads are torqued?
 
Re-torque the heads cold. The composite gaskets have a tendency to leak between the gasket layers. I've talked to a few manufacturers about installing a steel ring in this area, front & rear, but none are interested.

I just bought some head gaskets from 'Buick Farm.net' and they have steel both sides of a composit material and also have steel rings around bore and oil feed holes as well so could be worth a try?I would say they are NOS.
