Default Head gasket leak

I have a lt1 turbo charged with aluminun heads. I blew the head gaskets and just replaced them, went to the track and they detected coolant. I got the car home and did a pressure test on the cooling system and the head is leaking coolant right next to the front head bolt on cylinder #2 I put dye in the motor and oil is dripping from the same spot. I used felpro 1074 with the flattened copper wire recommended for this motor. I have ordered a new gasket for this side. Any suggestions of what the problem is. This is a 94 Camaro and it is a time consuming project to change a gasket. I used head studs could one of the studs allow oil and water to pass the head? It runs fine and no water in the oil and I am getting a very small drip of water and oil.
