I was changing my oil and I notice a leak coming from between the valve cover and the back of the chain tensioner housing!
There are no leaks on the top of the motor and no leaks from the oil return tubes but there is a gap between the back of the housing and the head that has a bolt in it. I have read that there can be a leak from the rocker arm pivot shaft that is in the general area. So the question is could the rocker shaft bolt have fallen out and be the bolt that is between the valve cover and the tensioner housing? Here is a photo of the bolt and where the leak seems to be!
