What doesn't make sense is that you said your compression was a bit on the high side yet the shop tells you the head gasket is leaking. With a leaking head gasket, your compression should be lower in the compression band, not higher. If you're getting seepage of coolant from your head gasket, your oil will thicken and look like mayonaise with a darker, oily color to it. Something doesn't seem right ...... be curious what happens if and when you do replace your head gasket. But you may never know what the real cause is if you do since you're planning to do all the other work on the engine at the same time.
