Not on a Desmond ;) ;)

Did you use genuine gasket and did you clean the breathers?

Search & you shall find: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90528.0 (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90528.0)

Was a genuine gasket used? Was correct sealant used in the right place?

Do the Desmonds have the halfmoons at the back of the head :-\

Overlooking that on the V6 makes for quite a mess :-X

You are right there al! ::) ::) ;)  I once overlooked that and didn't ensure the half moon of the seal for the right bank was fully seated.   Result loads of oil down the back of the engine, clouds of blue smoke, and a repeat job of fitting one cam cover seal! :P :P
