Broken bolt on valve cover? Help.

Broken bolt on valve cover? Help.
I was taking off my spark plug wire cover and the back left nut that i was unscrewing snpped off along with the top of the bolt that comes up through the vavle cover. Now the bolt (where is broke off) sits flush with the gromet in the inner part of the vavle cover. After driving for a few days i can see a very tiny bit of oil around it, its so little that you can barely wipe it off onto your finger. Ive tried finding out what the bolt was on a parts assembly chart from a b16, but i cant seem to find that bolt. Does anyone know is this is a serious/trivial problem. It oviously has to be fixed, and also is it hard to do or easy. Im thinking that that is the bolt that goes all the way through the head, im not sure though. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

take it to a honda dealership and tell them u need that blot, just point to it, and make sure they don't **** u up and give u the wrong part, most of them know what they are doing, but the other 1/2 =
if it's stuck in there, a raiditor or muffler shop should be able to take it out for u, for mad cheap under 10 bucks

They are valve cover studs. get em from a dealership for a few bucks each but make sure you tell them that you need the longer ones cause the outer ones arent the same as the inner ones. I broke 2 of mine.
