yes, another oil leak thread

well just got the bike, it seemed to have a pretty steady oil leak down the left side cooling fins, dripping on to the stator/alternator cover...

looked and traced it back to a 12MM bolt/stud on the front of the engine, beside the exhaust. it was quite loose, so i just kind of snugged it up without torquing it down because im not entirely sure about it.

It is a head stud correct??, and will i be ok just tightening it to factory spec or would i need to loosen all the studs, and re-torque them in sequence?

the oil leak has stopped however

I have a 2012 w/800 miles and have an oil leak at the top of motor running down the back left fins.  Does anyone know what might be leaking?
