d16y8 valve cover pic

anyone have a pic of their d16y8 valve cover, i just put on a new gasket cause i was leaking some oil, and before i took it off i noticed that there was a threaded hole with no screw in it and was just wondering if this should be with out a bolt or what

and i can't find my cam or else i'd take the pic

are you talking about the one on the top of the cover by where it says honda, or the one down on the lip more by the dipstick?

i'm talking about the one on the lip on the right hand side of the cover

also i stuck a small piece of somehting in there just the feel where it went to and i felt the rubber gasket, so i'm guessing this shouldn't be there and that could be one of the reasons for a leak....maybe?

On my d16z6 there was never a bolt on the driver side front corner of my valvecover(bottom right in your pic) and it also never leaked oil from there.. I know my friends Y8 was the same way, with no bolt yet no leaks either.
