While installing new clamps from the FMIC to the throttle body on all of the pipes i noticed a build up of oil on the valve cover around the upper bolt closest to the air conditioning compressor.. I took a socket to it to test if it was lose and discovered that in fact the bolt is actually broken with the rest of the threaded part of the bolt broken in side of the female end of the valve cover .... what now?

With the help of a very knowledgable friend we took off the valve cover and extracted the broken bolt , replaced the gaskets , replaced the bolt, put all that back together, took her out and everything seems ok, thanks for the reply ....
