You may not actually have a leak. The dried coolant trail could be residue from prior bleedings of coolant system.
Anyway, Diesel's advise is good - don't go over torque on those bolts. nice and snug with a wrench that is only as long as your hand is wide. Also, that bleeder screw seems to get stripped by over torque frequently. If you are really leaking, I bet that is the real cluprit. Either replace the whole cast fitting or tap out the hole to a slightly larger size.
