If it's leaking from where the head meets the block, then either your headgasket is bad, or the head and block aren't mating properly. Maybe they botched your resurface job.

Yes. The studs are not your problem, unless they were installed incorrectly or not torqued properly.

Never heard of anyone actually reusing a head gasket. I had a problem where I put a new gasket on, ran the car for <5 miles, then removed the head again, and I still didn't reuse the old gasket.
