The head gaskets are not as bad of a job as you would think. Still adds up though .
I just picked up a 2006 today for my new rental house tactical assault vehicle .

After some more reading the 2000-2009's leak oil externally at the head gasket. So the issue becomes is so much oil leaking it becomes a low oil problem vs engine integrity. Earlier engines leaked internally.
Also the weeping area is the return to case run for oil. No pressure just like return tubes on the 911 oil cooled.
If cooling system holds pressure I will replace valve cover gaskets (needed badly around spark plugs) and install a timing belt kit which is due.
