If the Oil is seeping onto your Exhaust and around where the sparkplugs go into its most likely Your Rocker cover Gasket. Just buy a new one, Dont go cheap on these gaskets either, Get a good Rubber one

it doesnt really seem to be seeping out from the rocker cover . the oil is around the middle cylinders on exhaust around the bolts on the bottom

few things to check for if u think u have blown the head. As I have had 2 falcons with blown heads grrr anyway, check for water in the oil, that usually lets u know theres a serious crack. Losing water? Otherwise, u can just drop into a radiator place and get em to check it. Simple tool put into ur water, if it beeps, its cracked
