Default mk3 leaking oil

yes i changed the head gasket myself put arp head studs in it and also had the head resurfaced at the machine shop, pressure tested, and cleaned. when ever i start the engine the leak developes and after i shut it off. at both times the oils dont flow out it just is like a small drip. i can hear it going drip drip drip. then when i go to touch and feel for oil so that i can find the place where the oil is actually leaking from i feel oil from where the oil pan is. iam talking about the place where the oil pan seal and the oil pan mate to the block. i fell oil from their. this is why i suspected oil from above becuase i thought it was from the turbo oil pipes but it wasnt. iam stuck, what else can cause a leak from the passenger side of the motor and leak onto the oil pan gasket to make it seem like its leaking from the oil pan gasket?
