On mine, the bolts that fasten the valve covers on have brass gaskets under them, like washers just like on the oil pan plug. Neoprene O-Rings could also work as they would take the heat.
As you know mine is a '53 Patrician 9 main with a 4V carb so it is different, at a guess, is that the bushing where the butterfly accelerator rod comes out of the throttle body? Could it have worn and allow a fuel leak? If so it would need to be machined, but other wiser members will know for sure.
On the speedometer, it might be worth a try at simply removing the head and oiling it, there is a hole to do so. I suspect it has never been oiled so it would not hurt.
I have attached the image Big Kev sent me and it worked a treat on mine.
Good luck
