Have a feel around the back of the cam cover to make sure the big rubber D is seated properly onto the head.
They can be a bit awkward to get seated right.

Definately check at the back of the right hand side bank for the D shape done mine recently and found the right hand side was a bit of a bugger to re-fit and kept knocking the sealent out :-/ :-/ :y :y

Did you clean out the breather pipes?

When I did mine years ago I was told that the covers can warp (mine hadn't) & that I didn't need to worry about the breathers (mine were completely bunged up, especially the aluminium lump behind the drivers side cylinder head)

What Andy said^^^^^
I personally don't think the plastic covers warp - that's just an urban myth bought about by ignorance and/or the fear of finding out why these leaks appear.
