Back side of the valve cover is dry? That's normally the cause.

it can’t be that valve cover the gasket is brand new and in the picture it’s coming from that litttle hose thing

It actually could still be the valve cover, something I didn't know is the step bolts bottom out to soon. Solomon knows these engines and that was the first thing he told me when my brand new valve cover gasket leaked.

I was about to mention those bolts before Jesse brought it up. I made that assumption myself multiple times with new gaskets. But it was always the cause. Get some full threaded bolts.
