Default headgasket leak

Well, after removing the vacum pump a number of times and refitting it with gasket sealent i am positive the headgasket is leaking oil between the block and cyclinder head.It does not pour out,but it has started getting a bit worse,that side of the block is always soaked with oil,so i am hoping someone could tell me if they have had similar issues and what they did to cure this problem?I am thinking of torqueing the headbolts again but am worried this is not a good idea,the coolant has not been contaminated with oil yet so if i can fix this before that happens that would be great.
Also, I am going to fit a intercooler(my engine is the d24t)so i just wanted to know will i loose some boost pressure,if so will i have to fit a mbc and turn the boost back up to spec?

Thank very much for your help guys
