fuel leak under valve cover

i finally got my fuel injectors replaced and everything back together on my 89 formula with the 350. i dont think there is any leak from the injectors or the fuel rail. it appears that i have fuel leaking from somewhere between the bottom of the valve cover and the top of the exhaust manifold on the passenger side. any ideas on what i can start to look at?

Yeah wipe your motor down and turn the key on and look for a goddamn leak? It's so easy even you can do it.

Re: fuel leak under valve cover

gee, why didnt i think of that. thanks for your insight. maybe i could have explained it better. if i could see where it was originating from i wouldnt have asked the question. but i can't, i am pretty sure it is coming from below the valve cover.
