Maybe the reseal wasn't done properly.

Hallmark of cam tower leak. Did you use a sealant? I've had to do mine twice in the past year. Didn't use sealant first time round and ended up having to do the whole thing again 6 months later. It seems to be holding this time. Pretty much any good anaerobic sealant will work. I know Porsche recommends none at all, and this is an interesting topic of discussion. Also, the cam tower bolts can back out on you (say many here on Pelican - haven't had it happen to me), so a check on them is always in order.

HTH and good luck!
