Default losing prime!

new head gasket and injectors now, losing prime in a bought an hour cranks hard for like 5 or 6 seconds then runs fine. I know it either could be injector lines cross over tubes iv also heard of a banjo bolt on the back of the head? What could be causing this or whats a good way to diagnose it!!!

okay well im leaking from the back of the motor somewhere, when i park up hill loses prime in a half hour down hill even the slightest bit cranks right up everytime no hesitation. I cant seem to see where it is actually leaking from though, i wanna say its the banjo bolt but it seems dry i guess. Could it be the sixth injector line looks a tiny bit wet idk... i have like no tools im in the marine corps and they just closed the shop on base so im kind of up a creek i wanna take it to a local shop but i wanna tell them what to fix not let them endever onn thier own please HELP....
