Just take out the 3 or 4 lower cam cover bolts one at a time, clean the bolt meticulously as well as the threads in the head, goober the threads from the head to halfway down the bolt with gasket maker (permatex red works) and reinstall using the proper torque. I did this and while I still get a tiny weep, the leak has almost gone away.
There are also new spec micro-encapsulated bolts that you might want to try.
