Do not put any sealant on the fittings, if they are damaged by overtightening they will weep and can be replaced fairly inexpensively and simply.

The problem is you put sealant on the oil line, it seals OK but then a hunk breaks off inside the line, seals up a hole in the cam spraybar and pretty soon that cam lobe is worn out. I wouldn't take the risk, cam lines are cheap.
