did this all start after a head gasket change?
If it did, did you use new head bolts,did you tighten the bolts in the correct order? and with a torque wrench?

there's your answer old bolts. They bottom out in the blind holes in the block give you false torque won't compress head gasket going to leak 95% OF THE TIME go cheap get cheap results, didn't save any money did you
