If you're going to remove the head for any reason, you should resurface it before reinstalling.
I think you still need to determine whether or not you even have a leaking head gasket.

Were you the one that put the oil in that turned to chocolate milk? (Or did you buy it that way?)
Have you seen the engine overheat and have coolant spewing out the reservoir overflow?

Though if the engine has sat for a long period of time it could be moisture build up in the top end.
That's where I was leaning. Reason I'm wondering about the history of the oil.
