Default Head Gasket Problem???

I have an oil leak from the fwd most bolt on the hea, it leaks onto the exhaust and causes quite a bit of smoking. It is already very tight, does this mean my head gasket is shot? How hard is it to replace?

looks like you need to change the cam tower gasket, if its leaking there. Not the head gasket. About a $7.00 gasket, but a fair amount of work.

Could also be a leak coming from the large o-ring in the back of camshaft front housing. Clean everything good up front, and start watching for where its coming from.
