Mmmmkay, I went back and read. You lost the jug / case gasket in a big way. You started seeing real issue After you tightened up the oil fill.
Either something isn't kosher where that gasket sits or the internal pressure is too high or, a bit of both.
Some oil leak hunters have closed off the vent, sprayed soapy water on the engine and put a few PSI in the crankcase.
You might wanna Not block the vent and see if the engine is breathing right. I'd sure inspect the surfaces that the jug gasket are on. And how much goo goes on the head cover matters, and what kind, IMO. Not RTV,,
I'm not a real stickler for the torque wrenches, I go by feel on about everything,, but jug and head , I would use one. Head cover, no.. just keep making passes getting tiny bits of a turn, pinching the sealer flatter and flatter until the bolts tell you Th Th Th That's All, Folks. You can feel it. Depends on how you hold the wrench, a closed hand is dangerous.
Sounds like you're going at it hard and fast. You might be ahead to slow down.
