Head Gasket Leak 81 KZ750 LTD

I recently noticed my head gasket leaking-1981 KZ750 LTD. I was wondering if this is contributing to my hard starting and poor performance problems? I have had the carbs off and cleaned them well. Trying to figure this thing out. Thanks.

If it is reducing compression it will make it hard to start. Torquing the head bolts to spec might fix it.
