are you sure it is the head gasket? have you checked to see if it is coming from between the distributor and the head? the distributor could need a new O-ring - happens a lot

Try a new distributor o-ring from autozone or the stealership, and go ahead and supplement it with some permatex gray.

If you have a vtec head, its also common for the solenoid to leak.
