They're just snug and they leak? Duh, tighten them more ;-)
I used to be afraid of over-tightening steel valve cover bolts until a professional engine builder showed me how tight he made them - MUCH tighter than I had been. Now I never have leaks.
Hey, it's already leaking; what's the worst that can happen if you over-tighten? It just might cure your problem.
