Just noticed today a little seepage of oil from 3 or 4 of the bolts do you think its the O rings that need changing? The breathers are all clear or maybe they need the torque checking although i think they may well be original as the car has only done 50000 and i can't see it mentioned in the service history!! Your thoughts and can you but O rings separately?

Yeah it will be o rings. But you need to remove covers to get to the o rings so. As it's such a ball ache of a job do the gaskets too 

For a "temporary repair" you could torque them with the hope they've just come loose. But doubt it

I had two weeping so after a bit of advice i ran a bit of black sealant around the hole then dropped the bolt back in. No more weeping. Its been about 3 months so far

Check your breathers. IF they are clear they should suck air in, not blow oil out.

Also check that the cam cover bolts haven't worked loose (torque to 8nm).
