HELP--weird oil leak and intake manifold bolt

I just noticed my 94 900SET is leaking oil, although not on the ground. After running it a bit, I poked around and found a wet area on the lower right side of the head, if you face the engine from the front of the car. It seems to drip on the front of the bell housing of the tranny. Also, the lower bolt of the rightmost intake port is loose (I can turn by hand) and it is covered with oil whereas the others are not. I tried tightening with a socket, but it gets a little tighter then loose suggesting a stripped or broken bolt. What could break the manifold bolt?
The car has 80k miles on it. I bought it 6 months ago, and at the time it had (among other things) a clutch replaced by the dealer 6 mos. prior. The prev. owner also had the dealer drop the tranny and replace all seals.
Thanks in advance.
