Default valve cover leak

I have a 99 ford f150 5.4L with 149000 miles on it. My valve cover is leaking from two of the top mounting bolts. My question: Is there a grommet or rubber seal the goes under the bolts. The valve gasket itself is good. it is just leaking from these two spots. My eye sight is not very good and with all the oil coming from here I cant make it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to replace the "O" ring on the bolts separately if necessary. Just make sure you get the kind that will hold up to oils.
