looks descent in pictures. just make sure to tq them in both the correct order and correct spec.
 
When you say "leaking" are you saying that fluid is collecting and dripping? Or is the gasket just sweating and letting the outside of the case look a bit damp? Because sweating seal/gasket is normal. But that is over time, not soon after changing to new gasket.

I didnt even dig into the why of what he is doing, but you bring up a good point. If its just sweating or weeping, i would first just retorque the bolts to proper spec. That may take care of the issue.

Neither torque specs for bolts nor order are present by KIA for Stinger. Personally I can't find such info nowhere :(

The oil is not flowing in huge rate, but the leakage is definitely abnormal as all trans pan is oily after short distance of driving. Even drops form on the bottom of pan.
 
Oh they call the pan as valve body cover. Thanks mate. Will try a new gasket (OEM one) and 13,7-15,7 Nm.
