RE: push rods leaking oil
The o-rings aren't sealing. Either their not seated properly, their damaged, maybe got some dirt or something on them during installation. My suggestion is to loosen that base that is bolted at the bottom of the push rod cover and slide it up so you can take a look at the o-ring, maybe try re-seating it and bolt it down again, and see if that fixes it. Other wise you may have to pull the heads and put new o-rings in. They are specially molded o-rings, so go to a dealer to get new ones if you need to replace them.
