Its just seaping out im thinking its a seal, still have no clue why been thinking of JB welding this..

These are the two spots that i know of. Any one know the reason, and/or how to fix it?

They both dont leak until it is started and getting warm.
I noticed this awhile ago and just did a complete oil change as well anything helps

Thanks,
Luke

if this is a pic of the right side than thats like a little weep hole its there to let you know if any oil is leaking down into the spark plug cavity, this hole lets that little cavity drain out, usually its because the valve cover isnt sealed to the head right or its not tightened down enough.

yea its just draining the excess oil off in the spark plug cavity on the cylinder head, the valve cover might not be sealed correctly or its just not tightened enough,so basically you have to remove that valve cover thats on the head and clean up all the sealant on it and reseal it i suggest using yamabond(dont use RTV sealant), while that cover is off you might as well check the valve clearances to see if there still in spec, as for the second picture i cant really tell what im looking at exactly.
