Clean the engine off real good and then take it for a short drive and then check to see if you can see where it is actually coming from. Leave the engine running until you finish looking. Then if it still looks clean shut it down and look again. Sometimes you may need to leave it for a few minutes and keep coming back to recheck it while it cools down. If after that it still seems to be clean then just check it just before driving it and each time you park it.
It could be possible that the HG didn't was bad. If seen a lot of times that the rubber half moon seals leak. Did you put RTV sealer on the lower half of it? I found this to help them out a lot better even when new.
