Default DII Oil Leak Repair walkthrough

Alright....I have the (what appears to be fairly popular) valve cover oil leak. I was able to tighten the WAY loose outer bolts but cannot figure out how to get to the inner bolts that are positioned under the intake. Is there a simple way to get at them or is that another weekend job? If there is an easy way please help.....I tried the Rave instructions but it was not much help.

I have the same thing going on, though mine isn't severe yet. When I replace the spark plug wires I am taking off the intake plenum and replacing that gasket, I will also replace the valve cover gaskets and reinstall all the screws with the appropriate size lock-washer and then re-torque to RAVE manual specs. Every fastener should have a locking mechanism of some kind, even if it's just locktite.
