Default Help! missing bolt on valve cover?

I think I'm missing a bolt on the valve cover of my 02 Civic Si 2.0?!? The location of the missing bolt is at the rear, far left corner of the valve cover. Also it looks to be threaded. I noticed an oil leak first and on further investigation saw the oil leak is at the valve cover...below the missing bolt.
Thanks for suggestions. I'm not sure if a valve cover bolt belongs there or not.

is there a stud there without a bolt on it?? if so then youre missing one, if theres a hole that goes into the valve cover and you cant see a threaded stud, then it probably got snapped off, they are only supposed to be torqued to like 6 ft lbs,....you can get one from the dealership for a few bucks

in the mean time put some silicon there to stop the leak
