this is how i got it..isnt there supposed to be 4 bolts on there anyways?
im thinking the fuel issue is a bad injector..am i correct or is it possible the wiring to that injector is also bad?

How could you possibly get fuel on that side of the engine when there is absolutely nothing fuel related on the exhaust side of the engine. Its more than likely a really bad oil leak coming from the valve cover gaskets.

He'd be hydro-locking the motor trying to start it if that was the case.

Coolant wouldn't attract dirt/dust like that. It looks like oil. Remove your valve cover and replace the gaskets.
