Exclamation Is this the head gasket leak? (PICS)

So I have a buschur built 2L. Built head, built block, about 50k miles on the built motor pushing 30PSI.
i started to notice that

1. my car leaks oil all around the motor just under the intake/ exhaust manifold and around the side.
2. Oil pressure gauge is all over the place in boost
3. Car is slowly loosing coolant.
4. dip stick, oil cap looks normal color but it is leaking oil.







Is this the head gasket?

If it is, when i do the job, should i get brand new APR head studs? OEM gasket?

Looks like the head gasket is on it's way out. If it were me I would go with an OEM gasket and new head studs for sure.
