just go get some engine degreaser and clean it all off, then you can try and determine the source of the crud

well come on man... if i came on here and was like "guys, there is a glob of dirt on my carbon fiber hood, what should i do?" am i going to get a realistic answer?? if he was asking about the source of it, where it came from, how to eliminate it... then i would be a little more tactfull but jeez.

You COULD buy a new car? j/k If you replaced all the gaskets... could it be like a hairline fracture in the block? You do a compression test?

My guess would be that the head surface isn't flat and needs to be resurfaced or the head studs need to be replaced...they need to be replaced anyway if you replaced the head gasket because of stretching. The head should have been checked at a maching shop for warping.
That would be my guess, since you stated the you've already replaced all the gaskets with no mention of getting anything machined. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't, but that's pertinent info too, Joe

If it was machined and new head studs were used then check your head studs and make sure they are still in torqued correctly.
