Default Head gasket ?

I have a 95 dc2 gsr b18c1 bone stock internals with 149000 on it that i turboed a month ago set up is t3/t4 57 trim .48ar with ramhorn mani and 3 inch exhaust injectors blah blah blah umm tuned on chrome running between 10-12 psi...my ? is that i have been haveing issues with it tryin to run hot after like 30-45 min of normal driving to work or if i take it out in the day a beat on it a little it will start to warm up so i just turn on the heater and bring the temps back down but it has never ran all the way to hot...so today after i got home from running around i was lookin under the hood and i see what looks to be a small coolent leak from the head...it might be a head gasket about to blow or it could be the head lifting a bit up around 8k rpm...so i am planning in the next month or so to do a new head gasket and arp head studs...so my ? is which head gaskets should i look at and what kind of thickness should i be thinkin of i wanted to run thicker than stock to bring the compression down a bit so i can run a little more boost...also what thickness is an oem head gasket

where is the leak on the head? Is the oil mixing with the antifreeze. You need to check to make sure you bled the system and none of your hoses are ripped or loose. If all turns out good then go ahead and change the head gasket.
