1998 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Automatic 199000 miles

I have an oil leak that leaves the residue at the oil valve gasket. I changed it and torqued it to 89 in-pounds but still have the leak. what is the cause, maybe i did not torque in the right way, I tried to do a criss cross method. I put the RTV seal on what I thought was the timing chain cover joint but wonder if I should put the seal around the whole matting surface of the gasket cover.
