Head Bolts 1973 2L

I was getting some water in the oil and pulled the head to do the head gasket. After the head gasket was done it had an oil leak, so I parked it to do the clutch, water pump, motor mounts, exhaust, etc in the 164. I thought I'd pinched an "O" ring when installing the head on the Berlina. Before pulling the head again, I pulled the air cleaner box and started it up to see where the oil was coming from. It looks like there should be a couple of bolts installed at the front of the head, in front of the chain cavity. These bolts go up into the head from the bottom. Well, I guess I missed those bolts when installing the head and that was several months ago.
Anybody know what size those bolts are and what thread they are? A local hardware store has a good supply of metric bolts if I knew the size. Or if anyone has those bolts and will sell them.
Thanks...

Well, my post was at 4:45, answered at 5:10 thanks to Papajam. I'm back from the Hardware store with the bolts. I also had to stop at the Auto parts store for some carb cleaner. Now about 6:00pm. This site is great!!
