guy i need your help

ok so yesterday i got up under my car to install my "hotwire" kit for my fuel pump the bottom of the car was covered in oil. it looked like it was coming from the oil pan but when i went to change the plugs i noticed what looked like oil all around where the head meets the block it only consumed a quart and a half in 6k miles but i have no pcv. the head gaskets where change like 3 months ago when we installed the lifters and we torqued everything down to spec.. anybody have any ideas of what it could be or might be interested in looking at it.

That would've been my guess. Did you use new bolts when you put on the head gaskets? They are not reusable and are torque to yield.
