GXP bottom bracket questions

I just bought a truvativ elita 2.2 GXP bottom bracket.

The crankset is nice! The bottom bracket, however, seems cheap. It's working fine for now, but after reading about the non drive side loosening, I tightened it a little past spec to make sure that didn't happen (after a lot of research). I am slightly concerned that I overtightened it since I can see some of the celeste colored grease coming out of the ends of the external bearings, but it might just be the crappy seals I've read about. What do you guys think about that? The BB FEELS good though.

Secondly, are all sram bottom brackets the same? GXP I mean, could I upgrade this one to a better model in the future?
