black spots cilinder head bolt cover area - sealing problem or nothing?
#8
That would be the valve cover gasket right? The manual calls it a cylinder head cover, says torque to 10 Nm (7 lbf ft) in a crisscross pattern in 2 or 3 steps. If you have already had a valve adjust it is possible that is oil that just got squished out and not wiped down. If not, I would feel safe to just keep an eye on it and wait for the next valve adjust to correct it.

I understand your concern. I abhor leaks, even weepy leaks. Some times the wife with her smaller hands can get up into spots like this and work miracles.
