Watery, as in chocolate milk-looking oil?
Did you have the head pressure tested and surfaced when you replaced the headgasket?
I've been around these cars for 25 years, and cracked heads didn't seem that common on any 99's I worked on. Pressure testing the head would have found any cracks if there were any. A machined surface would have given the new headgasket a fresh surface to mate to as well. Did you re-torque the head as required after 1000 miles?
