S13 SR20 blacktop oil leak near tensioner

whats up guys. I FINALLY got my SR built and put back in my car. crank it on, everything looks great and then a sudden leak at the bottom after about 5-10 min of it running. I look around and find that the wall behind the alternator has oil running down it. I look higher and it looks like the head gasket is leaking or the tensioner. Has to be one of those two.

The leak is in the channel to the left of the tensioner so Im almost positive its not that. Since that gasket is easier to change than the head gasket I already have one on its way to replace that first and test it. Could it be the tensioner that leaks? it doesn't go slow but a steady flow where you can see it moving. This happen to anyone else?I

I've been reading like crazy but want to see if anyone else has some advise on this happening to them or if that is the area where the tensioner leaks from. thanks!
