He's full of **** and wants to take advantage of you. No oil is transferred between the head and block via head gasket. Most likely it is either a valve cover gasket or the front or back of the intake which is notorious for leaking.
I'd suggest cleaning the block of all gunk, run the engine for awhile and then start feeling around from the top of the engine down to see where it originates.
