I had that leak (head/block) on both my 1999 and 2004 9-5 . In both cases I replaced the old head bolts with a new set and torqued them more so than the recommended specs - and leaks were history - not even seeing any seepage.
I did multiple passes gradually retorquing the bolts - and guess what the ones over on the passenger side of the head seemed to accept more tightening after each pass over the bolts, so all bolts were torqued to approx 88 ft/lbs which is about where they just wouldn't take any more tightening.
