valve cover gasket repair

[1stE53]

Did you ureplace the bolts that hold the valve cover on? I replaced my gasket and am getting a small leak through the bottom 5 of these bolts... Thanks.

I am planning to replace all the bolts around the valve cover. I have noticed leaks in the front and bolts at first I thought it may have been a defective gasket but ruled that out. It shouldn't take long to put them in.

I've decided to just replace the rubber seals on the bottom. 5 of them. Monday I guess.

I put them on in a diagonal pattern and tightened them little by little, like putting on a tire. I was planning on just taking out and replacing one at a time.
