I put a Victor Reinz gasket in my car 50,000 miles ago, and also used the updated style bolts with no washer. No signs of any leakage or cross contamination. The other 2 head jobs I helped out with were done with Reinz gaskets and both cars have done similar mileage to mine with no issues.

I would say either a bad gasket, or the gasket shifted or was damaged when lifting the head back onto the block.
