98 Honda Accord Valve cover, oil leak, need help!?

Recently I had an oil change done on my 98 accord 4 cyl V-Tech engine. It appears some couple months later I have an oil leak. It appears not all the bolts that hold down the valve cover gasket are there? Does anyone know how many bolts hold down the gasket and where they are located? Or is there a web site that might show me a design? Sure looks to me like at least 1 bolt on right side (facing engine) of valve cover gasket is missing. It's threaded and no bolt is there, this is also the side where oil seems to be dripping. FYI: Valve cover gasket was changed within last year. Car has been maintained exceptionally well since it was new. Any help is greatly appreciated.98 Honda Accord Valve cover, oil leak, need help!?here it is
