As I suspected, the allen wrench with 10mm wrench didn't get the bolts tight enough, nowhere near.
Snugged 'em to 25 ft-lbs, and now only one bolt hole continues to leak.
Snugged 'em up again, and found the gasket had compressed to a degree. I suspect that after this go-round, the leak will be minimal if there at all anymore. May take one more go around. That said, it appears that I won't have to take the cover back off and go haywire with RTV, which I didn't want to do.
