did you clean the mating surface of the block and oil pan?
did you use any RTV?
check and see if you can find the leak trails on the side of the pan.

You should get some Honda Bond or Mitsubishi Silicone and use it all along the oil pan and in the corners where the cam is for the valve cover gasket. You don't need it all the way around the valve cover gasket, just in those corners where it's less likely to seal (because they're corners). But you should definently try and clean up the area better and see if it gets a better seal (for the valve cover gasket I mean).
