Default just replaced my head gasket, i see oil leaking where head meets block.. wtf?

replaced my head gasket with cometics... good thing to cause the OEM head gasket was blown..... wtf? but my car didn't overheat and wasn't leaking or burning any oil.

after i replaced my head gasket, 2 hours into driving i see signs of oil leakage around the head... wtf is going on?

Your head could be warped. Sometimes it is necessary to mil the head just a bit when doing a head gasket install. Also, did you reuse your old oem headbolts, because those do warp as well and it is recommended to replace them with the head gasket install, but the ARP are reusable.
