Its too bad that you removed the head, now you will have to take some extra steps to see if the sleeve O-rings are leaking.
You will have to put the old head gasket back on and torque the head down to spec's. Then get a radiator pressurizer (you could probably get one at an auto parts store). Remove the oil pan and install the pressure tester in place of the radiator cap and pump it up to normal operating PSI (usually says PSI on the radiator cap). If you have bad sleeve O-ring, you will see it dripping antifreeze.
Hopefully, a sleeve O-ring is the problem, since a cracked head or worse yet, a cracked block will run into more $$.
