8 bolt galley cover?? No idea what on earth they're talking about.... sounds like a LOT of BS to me.

Only thing I can think of that matches that description and yeah... NO OIL THERE. Hope they're not so clueless that they're going to pull the EGR plate because oil drooling down around it makes it look like it's the leak.

And yes, you can get it off without pulling the engine, but it's miserable.
