Not likely to be the seal, unless you forgot to install it or some such. If
you are sure it's not the hex-head plug in the back corner of the head, I
would suspect the plug in the end of the oil galley, or perhaps the one in
the camshaft bore. Unfortunately the remedy is the same.

Most likely some left over oil that got trapped in the bore for the stud.
If so, it will stop soon. Otherwise I think it has to be a leak from the
rocker cover or similar, as there is no place for oil to leak into the stud
area.
