Oil Leaking...........stillllllll!!!!!!!

After my $3000 (+) head gasket job, I just noticed I'm getting oil leaking (again) from my engine....onto the driver's side catalytic convertor (sometimes creating a minor smoke billowing situation!).......YIKES! I replaced every gasket and seal I could think of...evidently I overlooked at least ONE! Seems to be coming from rear driver side of engine...???? Is there anything in that area that could explain such a mild to moderate oil leak (which sometimes ends up dripping onto the top of the driver's side catalytic convertor...causing ANNOYING SMOKE!) [It's dripping enough so that in 2 weeks, I've accumulated a 5 to 6 inch diameter oil spot in my garage.]

Please speculate on the source of this leak.....

THANKS!
