Default oil leaking from headgasket by timing belt

I just recently pulled my head and put it back together and got it tuned and made good power. but now it leaks alot from the head gasket (I think) next to the timing belt. the car still seems to run good, and compression is good, but it losses alot of oil. what could be the issue. thanks

I did not replace valve cover gasket or cam seals but there is no oil on the head. it only builds up on the deck of the block

Did you recheck every stud when You finished torquing all of them?
