I will plan on working on this project this weekend when I have time to do the job carefully and correctly.

Thanks for your input. I am also appreciative for this forum that has helped with many questions and provided much guidance.
Tightening them down a bit could help. I do not expect the problem to be bubbles causing the leak. The OEM sealants are put on a far more evenly than you and I can do. I tightened mine a bit and they seemed fine, but mine were just minimally visibly leaking, no runs yet just a thin line at the joint. That was two years ago and was still fine when I sold it.
