From what you have stated, it sounds like a valve seal to me. Pop the cover and poke around the seals to see if they are all in one piece, or not, or hard & brittle. Worse case scenario has the head coming off and the guide getting knurled or sleeved but try new seals first, you should be able to R&R them w/o removing the head. Never done it myself though on a Brick so I can't say for sure how easy/difficult it is. Easy/breezy on a Ford small block;-)
