Default Coolant leak on my B18C1

I have a coolant leak between the #3 and #4 exhaust ports, just under where the header bolts to the head. The coolant only shows up there and dribbles down the block just to the left of the oil dipstick tube. Everything else is dry, no leaks on the backside or on either side of the engine. Just swapped this engine in and replaced all the seals & gaskets, has 1100 miles on it now. Any ideas?

Temp. gauge stays just below the half-way point and coolant is green just like it should be. Another thing I noticed this morning before driving was coolant near the "tab" that sticks out from the ex. manifold gasket on the left side of cyl. #4. That's above the headgasket - how the hell did it get up there? Also, from what I've learned the headgasket doesn't slowly leak, it goes all at once because the coolant seeps between the layers and destroys the seal.

Upside down head gasket maybe?
