Torque spec on the valve covers is 89inch lbs. The grommets are a key in the proper pressure as the bolts have sleeves on them to limit them.

Is the wiring melted or anything else out of place for the O2?

Put car on stands, started car looked up under engine, tranny didn't see no leak's, I asume it's coming out the filler tube when driving. draining about a 1/2 court since there is tranny fluid on cradle and ground, going to dry all surfaces, start her up and see what happens.
