I'm sure I'm leaking some of the oil, too, but maybe the exhaust valve guides are worn out. Is there a way to check without yanking the head?

If I'm going to yank the head then I'm going to pull the whole engine and have the whole mess rebuilt. I don't know how many miles are on this block but it had the original paint job when I got it.
