Author Topic: Valve cover bolt leaking? truthseeker ¯ Member # 4636 posted                              I have oil leaking from a few of the bolts that are above and below the spark plug cover. They look like they have a rubber gasket under them. Anyone know what part number they are and what they are called? Also has anyone else ever run into this problem and fixed it?

Any parts store/dealer should have it. In a pinch you can clean it up and use a bead of silicon.
