Hmmmm..... Oil may well be a contributing factor in your situation. I'd definitely want to get the oil cleaned off - using some "CRC" (red can) de-greaser, and get the mating surfaces clean and dry again before torquing the bolts back down again.

Oh! And getting the C-beam centered correctly BEFORE torquing it down can make a difference, far as eliminating wear on the U-joints and/or eventual vibrations. (ref: Bill Boudreau, ZRdoc.com)
