well drill and tap the bolts on the valve cover and put new bolts in there, and as far as the tranny what exact seals are leaking? are you sure you put them on there correct? did you COMPLETELY remove any dirt, gunk, or residue from the previous seals? did you use any gasket maker along with your seals? etc... just make sure you did everything right

Just drive it and you'll learn as you go lol. As for your leaks are the axles fully seated in the trans?

the oil from the spark plug holes is just the valve cover gasket, most likely the spark plug gaskets that are leaking.
