As above, until it doesn't leak.
But if you get the bike level and see how far the oil is on the other (window) side then it's the same on the left side so, probably a fairly good lean angle required to stop it spilling out - certainly more than a 'side stand lean'.
For what it takes I'd drain the oil and if you really don't want to pay for fresh stuff just refill with the old.
If you're really concerned with threebond blocking the oilways then; you're using too much but there are gasket sealants* that get round the problem by only setting in the absence of air (anaerobic) with any excess just washing away with the oil, not sure if they seal as well though?
* e.g. Loctite 518 or for a cheaper equivalent this stuff;

Also, good call on checking the alternator nut torque whilst in there but you will then require a flywheel holding tool...
