2006 Honda 400ex oil leak at head stud nut.
#1
Looks like when running there is oil coming up from the head stud right in front of the spark plug. I just did a top end rebuild, everything seems to be good except this oil leak... The kit came with new studs an nuts....hard to tell in the photo, but I could watch it come up from the threads between the nut an stud while running. The drip down the front of the head thru the weep holes. Tried tightening a little more like a quater turn but don't want to go to much. Not sure where to go with this

Don't know the model at all but a glance at the parts drawing shows one head nut has a different washer under it to the other three. This usually means the "odd" washer has a seal on it, Dowty or copper as a rule. Torque head bolts to the correct setting, never more, there isn't much margin before you start to strip the aluminium threads and uneven tension can distort the head.
