Default Oil Leak

Shelby 427 FE aluminum block and heads. Recently completed rebuild. When sitting, there's a small continuous oil leak coming out from between the block and head at the very rear corner of block (#8 side.) Rolls down the edge of block, drips onto frame rail then floor.

Continuous meaning: Wipe up a small quarter size amount of oil today, dry off frame rail and block, tomorrow it will reappear without running the motor. Re-torqued the head bolts but no change.

Where's this oil coming from? Any correction suggestions?

Thank you,

Virgil
