It's probably one of 2 problems.
Those blocks are prone to crack between the liner bores.
The other cause, and more likely, when the head was off the engine got turned and one or more of the cylinder liners pushed up, letting trash in the bottom of the water jacket get under the liner, also breaking the oring seal.
Once the liner rides up, it will not go back down all the way and will hold the head up from sealing around the edges and the adjoining cylinders. The liners will have to come out, the seat in the block cleaned, and new orings installed. Yeah, not fun...
You might try retorquing the head bolts, sometimes that will stop one from leaking. When retorquing, get the engine up to temperature, back each bolt off, one at a time just enough to feel it turn, then take it back to specified torque.
