Bet it's leaking from just above there (the infamous valve cover leak) and making it look like it's comin from the head gasket

That still doesn't mean it can't leak. What brand of gasket did you use on the valve cover? The best would have to be the rubber Felpro gasket with out any gasket sealer. A lot of time when using the sealer with the rubber gasket it will cause it to slip and leak. Plus with the rubber it isn't needed. Also it is possible that you may have a nick or a bend in the valve cover. Just some suggestions. Hope you can find the leak.
