and sometimes even you replace the headgasket, it might be the gasket alignment problem.

Has the motor ever been overheated? I ask this becasue your problem could be coming from one of several issues:

-warped head (not likely, but is possible)
-the fact that you may need to simply retorque the headbolts
-didn't install the head correctly (possible, but I will assume that you installed it correctly)
-there may be an oil plug or something that blocks oil that may have rotted out (very unlikely that some freakish problem like this occured)

How do you know for SURE that the oil isn't draining down from something else? Cam seals, distributor seal, etc? By the way, is it coming from the timing cover side of the head?

check the valve cover gasket, the rubber gaskets that go under the bolts.
