My roadster started leaking major oil after looking around i found the leak was coming form the head cover seal and to my suprise my head bolts were almost falling out is this something other have seen? I have retighted everything and will see if that fixs the issue.

lol... head bolts was a deceiving title! If your head bolts are loose, you really would be in trouble!

I hope your talking about just the valve cover bolts? Use some black RTV sealant on the valve cover gasket and put some on the threads of the bolts. Tighten them down good. Then retighten them again in like 50 miles or so. After, they should'nt come loose again.
