    LIM bolts?

    The bolt holes are open to the head/rocker cavity.

    LOL, since when do LIM bolts go through the engine lift brackets?

    OP, when I removed my lift brackets I just teflon coated the threads on the bolts and put them back in the block.

    I put the bolt back in, I'll have to remember to go back and coat the threads before they fall out. I just left the nuts off the bolts that were coming from the motor.

    It wasn't pouring oil or anything, the threads just had oil on them, as did the bracket where the bolt had been.

    Most likely a leaky valve cover gasket then. I'd add that to the upcoming maintenance. As for the teflon, I just did it to do it. Others just thread the bolts back in with no issues.
