Default Oil leak from head.

Had a head gasket issue back in the day car got pretty hot... First time i had a shop do it for me.. used the old head studs and it leaked dumb idea. The leak started from the dizzy pretty good then the whole **** just puked oil. Second time i redid the headgasket i bought ARP head studs and did the job myself. Had the head machined this time and used the headstuds. Anways, i still have minor leak coming from the corner of the head under the dizzy... think the block somehow warped? not sure how that would happend from a little heat.. i've seen worse. Any ideas?

(JDM B16A-no major motor work)

thanks for the help

Check the distributor for oil leaks, that o ring gets hard and leaks all over the bellhousing. Also check inside the cap and in the dizzy for oil, as there is a seal in there as well that is prone to leaking.
