maybe alittle oil splatter' need to cover that and make sure nothing gets in there' could cause some major problems.

Goto the dealership and get a new one, but make sure you get the right one. They aren't all the same. That happened on my 93 coupe and I went to get one and pointed out the right one in the book, bought the part, got home, and it was the wrong one. So had to drive all the way back to Honda. I wasnt amused.

Re: broken head cover bolt (DevLishPlaya)
are you talking about the valve cover bolts in the corners? I broke one on my B16 and couldn't find one. Finally I found a nut that could grab the like 1 or 2 threads that are sticking up from where the bolt was and sorta forgot about it. But honda should have these then? Hmm, I better check that out

Depends how stuck the bolt is in the head, mine is really stuck in there and when I was trying to use a reverse drill bit to take it out, i took out all the threads.
I've been driving around for half a year without the bolt, just the plug to plug up the hole. Haven't seen any oil leakage at all.
Which bolt did you break? I broke the one right beside the timing cover
