Default HEAD GASKET LEAK?!?!

I have oil running down the back of the motor...tonight I pulled the plenum real quick (I did look from the underside first and it looks like its coming from between the head and block) to see if it was the valve cover gasket...and sure enough-I swear it is coming from the bottom of the head...ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS HAPPEN?!?!?! I found a thread by Scatpak saying he was told it was common?

I want to pull the valve cover out and retorque the head bolts.........I just did the 60K timing belt, tensioner, thermostat, water pump etc etc etc and I really dont want to do it again....but it looks like Im going to have to change the head gasket...oh boy thats irritating...........[:@]

My leak was coming from two places. Valve cover and one of the sensors on the back of the engine [distributor pickup is what I think the shop told me]
