Valve Cover Help

I replaced all the gaskets on the valve cover. All the bolts. Everything! It's all from Honda too. But I have this problem. I check the back and it was fine, its just from the front two bolts. WHY?! The Oil Level is fine!!

take the nuts back off and make sure the rubber grommets are seated correctly. if you over torqued there could be cracks in the valve cover, but last time i overtorqued one of those, i broke the stud before anything worse happened. i think they only need like 10 pound feet.

if you find that the grommets are seated normally, hook it up with some grey rtv. when i popped my center stud i just sealed the hole with the washer and grey rtv. held fine til i got a new valve cover stud.
