I read you aren't supposed to put any thread sealant on the AN fitting part is that correct. I did put some on the NPT part even though it has a o ring does that hurt it? I guess I just need to tighten everything a little more and check. How tight is too tight?
Before you start tightening things up, clean the area real well and see if the oil reappears. If the oil doesn't show back up, you are good to go.

If you have an o-ring, you will be better off without the sealant. A little thread sealer will not hurt if you have an o-ring seal but most people use way too much.

Too tight is when you break something. You might be able to find some torque specs online.
