How do I stop chain guard leak
Put in new timing chain, water pump, oil pump.
Used grey sealant on every thing, evenness the bolt through the head.
And the damn thing is still marking it's territory every where I go.
Any suggestions?

Where exactly is it leaking from? Between the head and the timing cover?
Try using Right Stuff gasket maker, its a little spendy but i dont even use gaskets anymore i just make them with it

I'm assuming you left the head on to replace the chain, the head gasket doesnt like to reseat, i would take the cover back off and pump a bunch of gasket maker between the head and the cover, get back in the corners and everything.

If you didn't pull the head or oil pan, you set yourself up for leaks. The timing cover is compressed between the head and oil pan, but is more 'closely' connected to the head. The 'factory' method for servicing anything within the timing cover requires pulling the head, if that helps. Alternately, you can pull the timing cover by dropping the oil pan... but you said you didn't do either so... no wonder you have a leak.
Don't use any type of RTV sealant. Spend some time and money, and use Hylomar.
Unfortunately, you'll have to take it all apart (either head or oil pan) to fix it.
