leaking oil where the head meets the block on both sides after h/c install help !

it looks to be leaking under #2 on the pass side but i can see it is coming from the front pass side of the intake and running down ! but today i noticed its on the drivers side head also where it meets the block seems to be leaking at the front of the head and the back of the head . but cant see it coming from the intake on the drivers side well also harder to see ! anyways do u think its the intake i mean it could be leaking from the back also to have oil on the rear of the drivers side head also ?? i mean both heads couldnt be leaking oil being theres no pressure there right ???

I agree, it's got to be the intake. I think oil just returns to the valley. The only place oil goes thru the gasket would be on the ends, but not pressurized.
