I have had grease show on both my Force-level SRAM BB and when I was using 6600 and 6700 Shimano BB's. Seems pretty normal to me as long as it's not flinging out of the seal.

And for the torque, I thought you were talking about the crank, just to clarify. The BB torque is not that high but the cranks require lots of torque to tighten. From my understanding, this torque is necessary because of how the crank centers itself in the BB using the non-drive side bearing.
