Small oil leak around the lower corner of the engine cover? Maybe?

Those studs, in addition to fastening the oil pan are to fasten the metal shields that go over the header cats on each side. A nut holds the shields onto those studs. This is for a 1990. Later years might differ.

Ok thanks for the info. The car has longtubes on it and were on there when I bought it so that would explain why there were no heat shields on those studs.
