Default Oil Leak around Vtec Solenoid

Question, Some oil leakage around the Vtec Solenoid (D16Z6). Looks like it's 3 bolts holding it to the SIDE of the head (not the 3 bolts on top). Must need the gasket replaced? If I take the 3 bolts out to replace it, is there anything that I need to know about? Anything gonna pop out?

no nothing will fall out, use some rtv sealant, i just replaced mine with the same problem, so far so good.

just make sure no oil is dripping out the side of the block that would reduce the sealing
