the 2 circled bolts are missing on my engine and i believe they are rocker cover bolts . could this be causing some leak ,WOULD THE WATER BE GETTING INSIDE THE ENGINE THROUGH THE BOLT HOLES ? SHIT CAPSLOCK???

looks like someone will have to take the rocker cover out soon Evil or Very Mad

Yeah, they are rocker cover bolts alright. Its entierly feasable that a small ammount of water could enter via them.

it doesnt mean that at all. Course, if you took the spark plugs out while the wells were full of water, it will have drained into the bores, which you dont really want.
