Wipe the seam the looks wet and recheck after awhile to see if it's wet again. If it's sealed properly, it shouldn't look wet once you wipe it clean.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like I need a new torque wrench!
Do you think I can just loosen the filter bolt and re-tighten to appropriate torque or do I need to start all over? I could probably take the oil drain bolt off and quickly replace the crush washer without losing too much oil. I do have an extra bottle. Any thoughts?
