If its a headgasket and not a valve cover gasket, it needs to be torqued down with a TQ Wrench pretty dang tight. FOrget how tight. Look on service manual.

what are tq'ing them too? that sound like your problem if its the head gasket.
the 4 nuts need to be torqued down to 40 ft lbs. I usually start with 10 ft lbs and tighten in a criss cross pattern and work up in 10lbs increments until I hit 40 and hit each nut at least twice to make sure it's right at 40.

so its probley im not tqing them down right then. but why would it always leak in the same spot. wouldnt it leak differnet each time
It is probably leaking where oil is pumping up through the head.
it's probly leaking in the same spot every time because there is a small imperfection in the head or jug, a low spot or something of that nature and since your not torqueing it down right and crushing the head gasket, compression slips around it
Sounds like to me you need to have your head and jub flat surfaced may be warped
