missing bolts on front of engine...

If I remember correctly from doing the 4kq water pump/timing belt a couple
months ago, those two bolts actually were pretty short and apparently
served only to help anchor the timing belt cover.  The ones that were
easier to get to straight on were the longer ones.  Did you put a sealant
on the longer bolts?  That might be the source of your leak.

No clue about the strange noise.  Do you hear it when you rev up without
moving the car?  Maybe it's a rolling sound from the
tranny/suspension/tires???????
