Default Strange Problem with 00 LR Discovery

I've got a strange question about a 2000 Discovery with the 4 liter,
Is it common for a discovery with this motor, to seep oil and coolant from the head gasket without blowing the gasket

You can certainly have an external leak. Can it be solved by re-torque? Most likely not. If head gasket was replaced by previous owner, he may have done a quick fix and not had the heads machined back to spec. Are you sure it is coming from the head and not the valley pan gasket?

No it is not common nor to be ignored. Coolant leaks usually get larger.
