Timing cover seal problems M104 E320

I had what I thought to be a bad oil leak from the upper timing cover. Water pump and the radiator needed to be replaced, so I decided to reseal the upper timing cover. Used MB sealant and new gaskets and new valve cover gasket (I can't imagine screwing up the valve cover gaskets).
Resealed it 2 times, still leaking a little at the front behind the corner of the cover and bad at the back if the engine. I have read all the threads on this issue and made sure to do it right.
Has anyone else had so much trouble with sealing the timing cover. Is it time for a head gasket? If it the head gasket is to blame for the cover not sealing I will let an indy do it for the sake of my mental stability. Any help on this issue would be great.
Thanks, Greg.
