The area where the head gasket is seems to be seeping oil. Not a lot, but its constantly wet. Is this normal? Does it mean my head gasket is going to blow out soon
Thanks

That looks like a tiny seepage leak in the pushrod area and is nothing to worry about....unless you WANT to pull the head and seal the gasket. There are no headbolts out in that area, only around the cylinders, so even a slight nick in the surface can leak.
