Default B18c1 problem need some help

Hey what up, friends gotta fully built GSR he bought off somone on here. already installed in 00 civic sedan. Its got a smalllll leak around the head. coming near dizzy or cam cap seal. but you can not see it leaking from anywhere just after you have driving it for a while oil will be there...he said its not coming from neither of those... It is also eating up antifreeze.... I was thinking head gasket since its leaking oil slightly while driving, and antifreeze is going away....But its got a Cometic gasket on it with only about 4000miles. Its possed to be a freshly built 9:1 cr engine with 4000miles on it. anyone have any ideas where to check?
