oil on the valve cover...question from an apprentice wanna be 200 1987

I was trying to get rid of a sqeak when I'm in Park and I thought it was the belts being loose or something like that. I noticed that on one side of the valve cover there is nasty dirty oil building up. So I had the 10mm in the ratchet and set them all really tight. A couple of hours later at coffee with a friend He told me I shouldn't have done that tightening. That I could have screwed up my gasket and that I should have a special measuring wrench to do it etc...
Is he right? I'm certainly not a mechanic, Just an apprentice wanna be with this forum as my mentor.
And besides I didn't get rid of the sqeak but my belts are tighter.

Any advice would be appreciated.
