Replace it, you can re-use your old headstuds if they aren't stripped.
I have a brand new headgasket if you want it too, 25 shipped.

Yeah...definitely replace the headgasket. The head and block faces need to be sealed together via the gasket, otherwise the leak will eventually lead to warping of the head mating surface. Thus, you might wanna take your head to a machine shop to have them check for warpage and make it level if needed. This is pretty common for headgasket replacements. I did that with my brother's civic. Machining was cheap. I also reused the head bolts and the car is still running strong (just follow the shop manual and torque the bolts in sequence).
