Did it leak there before the work was done ? sounds to me like its leaking in the same place again in the valley between the block and down below the intake manifold or near the rear portion of the cylinder head but wherever it is you can know until you see it with your own eyes so"
Id get a mechanics mirror and a strong light to see if you can spot it you can also use a scope woth an end light to get in there and look at it with that too ..
you might have to pull it off again hopfully not good luck hope this helps.
