The oil leak at the head gasket (and every where else) seems to have been caused by a broken nipple on the vacuum pump, allowing the pump to suck much more air than usual and pressurize the crank case, forcing oil out the seals, gaskets, etc. I screwed a screw into the broken nipple to seal it, so we'll see if that works to stop the oil seepage.
