Default Re used head bolts... caused head gasket to blow again?

Well i called the guy who helped my do the head gaskets the first time when they blew on my 00 2.5rs. turns out he reused the head bolts. i thought on subaru's u are supposed to use new ones? he works at a dealership and says they dont use new ones at the dealership eather, but now i have about 8,000 miles on the motor since the new HG were put on the there leaking again, this time the oil is getting into the coolent though, not the normal external blow they usually have, yes the heads were resurfaced and the block was checked and it was fine, so anyone think it could have been the head bolts that made it leak this time? its the only thing i could think of
