Now that i think about it. About 6 months or so ago i did tighten down my valve cover bolts on drivers side because i suspected a leak and 2 of the bolts seemed loose. Its possible i may have over tightened the top bolts of the valve cover. none of the lower bolts show any signs of leaking. I have removed the engine cover, but its still hard to see that top left bolt
