Default Trying to take my valve cover off

So today i was tryign to take my valve cover off, and i found one of the screw is bolted on really freaken tight, but i got it off anyways. When i tried to put all the screws back on, i found that one screw couldn't seem to go back the way it use to be. I double checked that thing make sure everythign is cool but turn out that the screw was broke in half, and there's oils on that screw. On the other side was okay, but there was some oil leeeking out, On the picture the circled one is the broken one and on the other side is the leeking one. I hope this is not somethign serious, anyone help?

you should order a replacement for the broken bolt and get all the rubber seals that are on those bolts they are only a few bucks each but can be a real pain in the butt to change. Also might as well replace the valve cover gasket if you havent already and don't forget to apply a bead of gasket sealent to the the head where the cam humps are
