I have 3 leaking out of the bolt heads i take it you can buy new washers for these, then do you have to take off the cam covers to replace these. Anybody got the part number for the washers.

Small o- rings which sit under the bolts, inside the cam covers, so yes the camcovers need to come off to replace them. You may find the gaskets have hardened and need to replace them too.
Worth checking the bolts are torqued to 8nm before starting to strip things down. They could have worked loose over time.
Don't have any part numbers to hand, but may be able to post them up later if someone else doesn't do it first.
Its weird being the same age as old people !

If the gaskets haven't leaked or hardened and look and in good shape, just clean them gently with Fairy Liquid and dry before using again, and remeber your GM Black Sealent.  ;)
