Did you use a new gasket? If not, may be worth picking one up. The folks at another ninja forum are pretty anal about torquing that bolt to exactly 14.5 ft/lbs because it's pretty easy to overtighten it. But if you're sure you didn't overtighten it, and you did use a new gasket, then I'd just monitor it for the next few days to see if there is any continued leak or if it was just in the beginning.
