Good source for a head gasket?

2000 9-5 (2.3t, LPT).
I have been having a slow oil leak from the head gasket (behind the accesory belt) for a while. 1-2 years ago I tried to retorque and used new bolts. I maybe have slowed it down a bit but maybe not.
Anyway over the last 1-2 month the leak expanded quite a but. It is now dripping and I find a new 2-3" oil puddle on my driveway every morning. The engine behind the belt looks quite wet with fresh oil. The oil pan is all covered with oil - which somewhat confuses me as I would expect only one corner of it to be grimey.
Anyway, 3 questions:
1. What is a good source for the headgasket.
2. Does the intake manifold need to come off or can it stay on the head?
3. Is it ok to reuse the latest revision headbolts or should I buy another set?
