I would give it a try but leaks will remove some of the gasket material so it may not work. Lowest cost to try. Also possible that the head has warped a little and the only fix for that is resurfacing the head at a machine shop. This usually happens with sever overheating though. Did you re-torque the head a few thousand miles after the gasket replacement?
