    Can you just run a 10mm bolt into it?

    If you needed it asap you could try dabbing some gasket maker around a 10mm bolt from a hardware store until you found a proper bolt. I don't think those bolts keep oil from seeping out though. Your valve cover gasket should take care of that. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong

    Is it one of the outside bolts or one of the ones directly on top?

    your gasket keeps oil from getting out, the rubber on the screw keeps valve cover from cracking since some people like to over do things
