Default Oil leak

Hi all, I've a nice steady drip of oil from the bolts that hold the flywheel cover on. Both seem to be dripping one worse than the other. I know about the issue with the sump bolts but was a bit surprised that these two leaked. Not sure if it was possible from there but its definitely coming down them. All dry above. Anyone else had this issue

Yes I’ve sealed them. Didn’t realise these two could leak. Pleased to find it at last! Lol
