oil seal on valve cover

OK here goes, i'll try to put this as plainly as possible. I have her back together and I started her up today. What a RUSH!!!! BUT & yeas there is a but. I noticed oil coming from one of the head cover/valve cover bolts. I tried to tighten it and it is not reaching enough threads to tighten down (it is one of the longest bolts on the cam chain side). How long is the chamber for this bolt and are these two longest bolts on that side two different lengths? I know I can go check and will after I post but I though I would ask in case I did something wrong. There is no oil coming out by my plug or anywhere else that I can see by he way.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!! I have looked at that layout so many times and had no idea that was the length (Next to the bolt head). Now, do I need to use a torque wrench on them or can I get it warm and tighten them again? I have never ridden before and I am dying to ride. Oh yes and lets not forget my okay I was going to say last question but, is there a slip on muffler out there (aside from stack) that will bolt on without modification? My brother took my stock (which I really wasn't to keen on anyway) to the scrap yard. So this leaves me without any and I am so far 625.00 into it and trying like crazy to keep it under 650.00 total to git er on the road.
