Two additional comments:

If you are using a different brand of oil, let it go for a while and it might stop on it's own.

Don't OVER tighten those bolts; they would have to be really loose to cause a leak. Most of the time, they are tight enough that they are hard to get loose.

But DO check the oil level. You didn't put in more than 1300 ml/cc did you? Seems like mine always took slightly less than that.
