Has the intake manifold been "upgraded"? Alot of guys just run a silicone bead at the front/rear and if the instal went bad it could've been screwed up or the gasket buggered. I can't see an oil pan soaking the starter and motor mount with oil...dip stick cracked badly? If you can remove the valve cover in a "clean and jerk" fashion, you'll see on the new gasket how it's sealing to the head; there'll be a "print" of the head surface.
