Pretty common on a sbc. From the top row of head bolts to the China rail, there isn't a bunch of clamp load. A small smear of rtv on each side of the gasket in this area is all that is needed.

Yea, the leakers actually had some silicon on them, but when replacing, went with right stuff. It should hold up well.
