Make sure the mating surface is clean and apply some rtv sealant in the corner of each bearing cap.

Make sure you use a torque wrench alot leak from over tightening which distorts it. Also check the cars breather hoses and pcv valve a blockage in either can cause excess pressure causing leaks

Thanks guys... I think I might have over done it with the bolts. Maybe the RTV hopefully that will stop it.
