I assume you replaced the camshaft oil seal and used OE gaskets and triplebond for the rocker covers. Pattern rocker cover gaskets are notorious for being ****

Guess at cam seals leaking or you didnt put sealant on the front cam caps (seal carrier caps).

I had the same problem, if it's the cam seal pop off the cambelt cover and oil will be sitting in there. If not, then rocker seal. I've had so many oil leaks I lost count, pain in the ****.
