I don't think there are any set torque settings for this, just tighten them as much as poss before you think they might snap.
The oil leak is a typical problem with the FIRE engine's you might want to buy a tube of liquid gasket and replace the lot on there you have. Takes about 1 hour to do and is easy peasy lemon squeezy

er, don't overtighten them - it won't do any good. The gasket is in a recess in the cover and the bolts don't need to be that tight, you get metal to metal contact between cover and head anyway as the gasket compresses into the space. Dead right about the gasket goo, mine doesn't leak at all now with a new gasket/sealant.
