A bolt did actually end up falling down but I used a boroscope camera to find and pick it up with a magnet. I also wanted to check out the inside of the cylinders and noticed there is oil in the spark plug recess. What’s the deal with that? It’s not an easy job. I wouldn’t recommend anyone try it without a bunch mechanical skills, correct tools, patience, and you have at least a six pack of you favorite beer!. Would the oil leak be a warranty thing?

Oil is probably from a leaking valve cover gasket, you could try for warranty repair on it but they'll probably fight hard. IIRC you have to pull the engine to replace the "gasket" (sealant I believe).
