      Valve Cover Shifted, Can one just loosen and retorque

      Hi Guys,
      Issue:
      Oil Pressure light came on (pressure dropped below 7 psi in engine)
      Valve Cover shifted

      While replacing a heater hose it appears we shifted the valve cover.
      So now I'm getting a oil pressure light and when I looked on top of the valve cover I can see the valve cover is not seated right now and oil is seeping (slowly) along some valve cover bolts and to the side of the valve cover to cylinder head side.
      Any chance I could loosen and retorque the valve cover without having to go through a replacement process?

      Anyone want to chime in? I was going to loosen the bolts that are offset and see if the covers goes back to normal position and retorque to 89 ft lbs.

      Bolts/valve cover are slightly off.
      Thanks in advance..any comments welcomed.
