Just the bit of seepage there at the #4, exhaust side.

Can you clarify exactly where this is occurring? Between the head and block or between the exhaust manifold and head?

Between the head and block. I'm still thinking that a new MAF sensor is needed for the overall problem, but I know I'll have to take care of the head gasket relatively soon. At which time I will do the timing belt and the rest of stuff that needs to be changed, water pump, front oil seal, tensioners etc.

You're replacing everything trying to avoid the hard job of opening up that timing cover.. but it's time for a new timing belt and seals.

Having a hard time swallowing that. Considering my valve timing is spot on every time I've checked it. The timing belt just crossed the 60k mark. Still having issues getting it started, so I don't know if the new MAF has had an effect yet.

I have a feeling I'll be replacing the distributor. New coils haven't done anything different, so that's my next step unless I get it to fire up again.
