Default frustrated, please help

well i finally got my car runnin when oil starts dripping on the ground in vast amounts. we finally located the source of the leak to the head. every time the motor is revved up, oil pulsates out in this one little spot in-between the head and block near the intake manifold. im totally frustrated. tell me me what you think it is. A head gasket or warped head

Make sure it's not from the oil filter.

Maybe I'm just lazy, but if you're gonna go through all the work of pulling the cams, you might as well just pull the head and check the decks for straightness.
