leaky heads gaskets, I'm losing it!

too much oil? the excess will run off, if way too much will scrape itself off as you drop the bolt in the hole.

The only symptom I've had with too much oil is having to retorque after a few hours. The oil will hydraulic at the bottom of the hole to some extent, but the threads never seal perfectly unless they're wrapped with Teflon or something equally dumb..
After an hour or so, the oil has seeped out and the proper torque can be achieved.
