Anybody know what the torque value is for the t30 bolts that hold the camshaft journal bearings in place?

Here is what the Bentley Repair Manual states for the camshaft bearing bracket:

Bearing bracket 8 N-m + an additional 1/4 turn (90 degrees)

It also states to replace the bolts (single use).

Is this from the A6 manual? There is nothing in my A4 manual.

I have noticed a nasty oil leak into the spark plug wells and was curious if re-torquing these bolts may have some effect on the leak. I have also replace the valve cover gasket and added some sealant around the spark plug holes and along the bottom edge of the cover.

That quote is from the Bentley Repair Manual for the C6 A6 with the 3.2L V6 engine.

Here's what the Bentley Repair manual states for the 4.2l V8 Engine Code BAT:
Bearing Cap to Cylinder Head Bolt: 5 N-m + 90° turn

For Engine Code BVJ, the Manual states for the 24 bolts under "Bearing Frame" to "as far as stop, and then tighten to 8 N-m" in the specified sequence.

could anybody help me with torque specs for front subframe bolts and transmision mount plate and mount?
as Im gonna replace all these bolts and subframe bushings otgether with engine mount, but cant find these specs anywhere

thanks in advance!

Assuming you have the 3.2L V6 engine, the Bentley Repair Manual lists the tightening torque for the front subframe bolts as 115 N-m + 90-degrees, Also, these bolts are a single use bolt, so you need to replace them each time they are removed.. For the transmission mount you're asking about, there is a tunnel crossmember that has 6 bolts that attached to the frame, 4 bolts that attach directly to the transmission to this tunnel crossmember, and 2 bolts in the center that bolt the smaller plate to the transmission. All of these bolts have a specified tightening torque of 23 N-m.

you have a beer if you ever come across to this "northern exposure"

appreciate it! Ill have to look into where to get either that bentley manual, or Elsa, or both
