Default oil leak between head and block on front right corner near oil resturn passage?

So I just finished a turbo d16 build and after the first startup I noticed some oil leak between head and block on the front right corner of the engine. I had both the block and head work done at the machine shop, and I also put in a .050" cometic MLS head gasket on it, And did the torque sequence all the way to 67ft lbs. And after a couple heat cycles, and retorqing the head head studs, it still leaks from that corner in the front right. It has a new dizzy oring, and new vtec gaskets. Also I notice a small leak near the back of the block and not sure where? Also I put a new valve cover gasket from autozone, and I dont see fresh oil anywhere on the head, and I only see oil around block.

Did you check top and side of vtec solenoid? Might be worth using an oil dye to figure out where it's coming from.
