Default Oil leak ?

Well, after tearing down the top end of my 5.0 Crate and installing all new gaskets My problem has changed from
anti-freeze leak to an oil leak between cylinders 7 & 8. It only sprays small drops of oil out onto the headers when you rev the engine past 2,500. Smoke like a Freight Train.

I can't believe it is the new head gasket, but I am at a loss where the oil can be coming from?

Is there an oil plug or something located in that area of the block that could be leaking?

Has anyone ever encountered this problem or have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

George
