Default Head gasket help

So I did my head gaskets and had them re sufaced . I am getting a oil leak on both side now. It only leaks a very small amount . I put it on my shop rack and tried to see where it was coming from. I thinkmit might be the intake leaking Down the back but can't get it to leakmon the rack. I really hope the heads are not leaking . I find it hard to believe both sides would leak.
I did a ten minute wheelsnspinning on the rack and no leak. Only when I drive it's much but it has a small drip on the cat that stinks .

You are going to have to clean the engine and then add some dye to the oil and drive for a couple of days and then look for the leak with a UV light.

Did you put the sealant in the corners of the valley pan gasket?
