I think you are way short on information in that post for anybody to be able to help. Oil? Water? From where? What have you alread done? etc etc.

Based on the info you've given I'll guess you need to get no valve cover gaskets.

Did I win a prize for guessing right?

I like these guessing threads

You should have used Permatex "The Right Stuff" when you sealed the intake (just a shot in the dark).

I am going to use my Spidey Sense and suggest that you change the gasket where it is leaking.

Bars Leak for coolant, some of that stuff that swells up your rubber seals for oil. If that don't work, try chewing gum.
