Default oil leak

I recently built my h23. I put all new gaskets, type s pistons, port and polished head and intake manifold etc. Anyways i have oil coming from my header. where my header meets the head its spitting oil where the header gasket is. i know the header gasket is not made to prevent oil from coming out so why in the hell is there oil even passing that direction. keep in mind that i had all the seals and gaskets replaced. if someone has an idea what might be the problem please help me out.

Very true my buddie put his head gasket up side down and wow was oil pooring out that thing make sure the tab that hangs out on the head gasket is on the right side, if you were looking at your car with the hood poped is on the left front side. But that was on his b20 Vtec so idk if the head gaskets are diff with there being a tab or not
