Question V-6 Head gasket

Long story short I had a head gasket spring a leak on me and so I replaced it. Then I noticed that I was leaking oil. Upon some investigating the oil leak is coming from where the head gasket is. So I took off the valve covers and tried to tighted the head bolts down more thinking that it would solve my oil leak problem. WRONG. Im still leaking oil. Anyone else ever had this problem or can tell me what I need to do to get mine to stop lealking?

I am constantly leaking oil. I fix one and its still leaking somewhere. I just found out the my head gasket is bad after replacing my whole water pump. (which was a Pain the the bakcside) So I have no clue on where to even start the head gasket so im sending it out to be fixed. It feels like such a failure sending the thing out. Did u ever figure out where yours was leaking?

Mine has mostly leaked from the oil sensor.

Doubt he will respond. Thread is a year old. Lol

So you had to get the head gasket replaced?

Bad head gasket can cause oil leaks? Hmm.. I hope that's not what's wrong with my '88.
