It's because someone at sometime has fitted a longer non standard bolt to attach the engine cover
Seen this many times, the longer bolt punches a hole through to the inside of the rocker box cover. If you run the engine with the bolt removed it nicely sprays oil all over the top of the engine Russ

My CDT came brand new with different length of bolts for the engine cover. I was always careful to put them back in the correct order.
Terry TS AUTOS changed the long one for a short one so that it could never cause trouble. Always assumed they all came with a mixture. |

Those that have had the cam cover pieced by over tightening the original bolt or one longer, I have in the past used a number plate plastic screw as a grub screw 5mm, but then you need a 10mm length bolt so as not to push on the grub screw when fitting the engine cover, but as already stated if you do have a pieced cam cover and the engine cover is removed with the engine running just insert the bolt a third in to stop the oil spitting out.

You need a bolt which pinches the engine cover tight, before it bottoms in the hole. You can grind the end from any bolts which is too long.
