The timing belt broke, and it bent the valves. I removed the cylinder head, bought new valves and cylinder head gasket set. Replace everything with new head bolts torque the bolts 30nm, 50nm and then 90 degrees?

So the oil is leaking from the head gasket or valve cover gasket? I am not sure what is going on or what you need to fix it? Here is a guide to help see where the oil is coming from:
