Injector install, now oil???

I installed 300 injectors today. Made sure I cleaned out where the copper washer seats down in the bore, all the injector nuts are torqued, but the injectors I got didn't have dust seals on top on the injector nut. I installed them anyway figuring I would get to the dealer monday and pick up a set. Well now I have oil coming up through the injector nut! Well I don't think this dust seal is meant to hold out engine oil, but maybe I'm wrong? Nothing comes out when it's sitting there idling or no load revving, it only comes out when it's under load and WOT. My bro (diesel mechanic) tells me to wait it out for a day and drive lightly, wait and see if everything seals up.
I cannot audibly hear any miss or anything like a compression leak. But like I said nothing comes out idling just WOT full load. Any ideas? Wait?
Thanks in advance.
