The bolts are Al, so there is a chance they could 'twist' and then snap (hence why they're for one time use)
It's common that the valve cover has a fracture (they're made from plastic) or it could also be your oil filter housing gasket? Have heard of a few oil pan gaskets leaking also...
Where's yours leaking? (is it actually leaking, or is oil just being consumed?)
