Evap Purge Valve Mount Oil Leak

Hey, I recently had my evap purge valve checked because I had the engine light come on saying there was a small leak detected in the evap system. In checking this valve, it was removed off the engine, and while putting it back wasn't done properly. Ever since then, the place where it screws onto (the cover kinda thing on the engine block) has been leaking oil all Over. I wanted to ask what's actually behind this "cover"?

That is the cylinder head!


That bolt holds the bracket to the cylinder head, why unbolt it , the valve can be removed from the bracket fairly easily

Take the bolt back out, clean it and the hole really good, reinstall with sealant.

Thanks so much, did what you guys said, I had to take the bolt and seperate it from the valve. Then I screwed the bolt in to the engine, and lastly I fitted the valve onto it. No more leaks
