grrr, valve cover leaking oil

I just replaced the gasket on my driver side valve cover because it had been spitting oil onto my intake manifold. It's still doing it!!! I spent about an hour cleaning the bottom of the valve cover yesterday of the goop and then went to get some nice Felpro valve-cover gaskets (the rubber ones). I installed and put the valve-cover back on. It was a total PITA because they make the gaskets slightly smaller than the cover so I had to use a little gasket spray adhesive to get it to stay long enough to flip it over and stick on the head. Took it out and drove it up to my buddy's shop to help one of my club members bag his S-10. As I was driving home, I got on it a little and then smelled some burning oil. WTF??? Got home and its still spitting on the intake and also looks like down the backside of the motor. The cover doesn't look warped, and I can't see any of the gasket sticking out anywhere. What should I do? Could it be a leak from somewhere else?
