Use _copious_ quantities of silicone gasket maker around the coolant ports and I mean goop it! I had 2 such leaks before I realized what a huge part sealer plays in relation to the gasket. Make sure you crisscross when you bolt the lower down. I always found torque specs to be very conservative. Ignore them and get the bolts in there as tight as you can. Tighten them _carefully_ once the engine is warm (I've snapped off boltheads tightening hot parts). I saw this behaviour on my valvecovers when the bolts would back off on the first warmup cycle following a reassembly.
