Default Still leaking coolant

So I got a '97 12V and I just did the head gasket on it because I noticed I was leaking coolant in the rear of the block near the no. 6 cylinder and I had bubbles in the radiator and coolant on the oil filler cap. Swapped it out runs like a champ. However, I still have a leak! I don't see any bubbles in the radiator and for some reason it's worse than before the head gasket job. Looks to be leaking in the same general area and there's a puddle on the no. 19 head bolt. can't tell if it's a freeze plug, but if it's not that one in the rear, what else could it be??

The head is probably warped and needs to be resurfaced.
