Need help with upper intake removal

I've got a leak at my valve covers, not to mention ticking from the lifters for #4 cyl. My question is what kind and size is the bolt on the left side of the upper intake. It's to far back for me to see, and the book is no help. Is it a Torx or Allen. What size. Just to let you know. I have a VERY limited supply of tools. I plan to buy as I need. I just dont want to buy what I dont currently need.

The one in the middle? Torx, T-40.
1/4" drive socket and long extension. Or a screwdriver style bit with a 1/4" socket adapter. 3/8" drive socket with a 1/4" reducer will not work.

My repair manual has a nice diagram showing the lower and upper intakes and all of the bolts except that one. IMO most chiltons and haynes repair manuals are only good for kindling.
