Ironhead Lifter tube oil leak

I had to adjust the front cylinder intake valve which means removing the uplift tube keeper (I adjusted the exhaust valve too). After re-installation oil now leaks onto the cylinders from the tops of both tubes by the removeable keepers. What is the secret to re-installing these so they do not leak? I was also going to adjust the rear cylinder valves, bot not until I know how to stop the oil leaks!
Thanks for any suggestions!

Could be the seals up top if the tubes weren't reinstalled as they were originally seated in the seal.
