always start from the top.
oil flows down, not up. a common mistake is to see oil coming from somwhere like an oil pan and assume it is an oil pan gasket. the oil can be dripping from the intake, down the block and cling in the gap between the pan and block.
start up.

Gotta take extreme care when tightening the front and rear covers. And the oil pan. Front main seal can be problematic. Did you have the rear cover off?? That seal is a bitch and a half to get over the crank. Like mentioned before, see where its coming from. Buy a can of brake cleaner and start spraying places clean. Start peeking to see where its oozing from.
