hello,
Your leak may be from the intake.
In my opinion a composition intake gasket is used with an aluminum intake.
If you still have the cast iron intake the valley pan style should work fine.
I don't like the tin valley pan gasket when used with an aluminum intake, JMO
Also a source for your water leak may be the front timing cover.
Also make sure you torque the head bolts to spec.

Thanks, this weekend I'm going to check the timing chain cover. It seems like I saw something wet when I was putting fluids in

Welcome to the site, post some pictures when you get a chance. Milky oil is a sign of water contamination. Intake gasket is usually the likely culprit.
