No I am saying I personally put the head with brand new studs and a brand new gasket and it leaked. I didn't attempt to fix it yet. And the studs can leak oil as the lead right through the head into the region under the valve cover. I do not think its the studs in your case from looking at the pics.

if its truly a buschur stage 3 head/block they would have checked it for squareness. not to mention everything would have been decked. did the PO do assembly or buschur? and if you say its only under boost how do you know a washer isnt sealed on a feed/drain line and squirting onto the block? im sure your head is fine just look around a little better. good luck!
