Default oil around head gasket

Looks as if oil is seeping out of the head gasket, only one small area on the right side( if sitting on the quad) towards the front... i keep wiping it clean and it seems to be coming from somehwere right above the head gasket too. Near the smal screw that holds a bracket that hold a wire or line of some sort. Its an 04 with about 25 hours on it.

Any ideas ?
Replace the head gasket?
WHich head gasket to use?
TIA
Jay

Default oil around head gasket

I would try torquing the head bolts down first. Same thing happened to a friend of mine, oil was coming out all over the front of the engine. I tightened the head bolts (some were quite loose) and its been fine since.
