Spray patterns coming from flywheel bolts?

Hmmm. I recall learning that the crank bolts here go through the crank and could be a passage for oil leaks. RTV was recommended to "seal" them up. I'm now noticing some black on the inside of the bellhousing that was flung from these holes. I'm trying to remember if I used ARP lube on the face of the bolt. Also, this engine was first fired weeks after setting these bolts so the RTV was not still uncured.

"so the RTV was not still uncured."
Some RTV is not "oil resistant" in that it can turn to "snot". We use a lube resistant such as The Right Stuff.

I'm pretty sure the rear crankshaft flange threaded holes are blind (they aren't are drilled through).
Loctite, yes.

Are the clutch plate bolts on the outer edge okay? They look iffy.
