Bolt #11 (below cyl #2 on intake side) is NOT a common place for an oil leak. Are you sure your 1-2 quart loss is actually from this area of the head gasket? 100% sure? Really
really sure?
The common leak is between bolts 20 and 22 (on the 603), at the main oil passage from the block to the head. Other common oil leaks are the front crank seal, IP seals, and turbocharger. But not the middle of the head.
