OIL LEAK! streaming out hole
My bike was running fine after valve adjustment for a week now but this morning when i went to warm it up i noticed a lot of oil seeping out from the header area. After removing all the fairing i noticed that there is a small hole on the cylinder head below the exhaust port( 4 holes along the head 1 under each exhaust port) the oil is only coming out of the hole closest to the cam chain side not out of any of the other 3 holes. I am stumped to what it can be other then excessive oil pressure causing it to spill out. It runs perfectly fine other than the major oil spilling out, when i arrived home last night didn't have this issue and no oil marks on the ground. Any hints???

Internal valve cover gasket is misaligned allowing oil into spark plug tubes. Little hole lets out oil.

GPFan1's right on the money - it's just a weep hole, to ensure fluid of any sort, isn't pooling around the plugs - did you torque all the bolts to spec, and use a good torque sequence?
If by any chance, all you did was tighten all of the bolts down, not using the proper torque value (7 ft. lb, if I remember correctly), you might just luck out with loosening everything up, and torquing to spec... with a torque spec so low, if you did just tighten them down, it would be very easy to over-torque these bolts.
