Default phffff I dont even know

Ok so after hours and hours of engine trouble shooting I finally got my f2 running great! The only issue I have now is an oil leak in the cylinder head. easy enough right? wrong...The leak isnt coming from a bad gasket, it is coming from a pin hole in the head, under the exhaust. there is one on each cylinder and all but one are plugged. So here I am lost and confused as to what these holes are and if I can just tig it closed. No one I ask in battle creek will even give me their two cents. Any thoughts are better than no thoughts.

Not sure if this is what you are talking about or not, But these bikes have a hole right by the exhaust for each cylinder, that if any liquid goes down where your spark plugs go (not inside your cylinder, but where you would put your socket into the top of the engine) It would drain out each of those 4 holes. Each cyl has its own drain hole by the exhaust.

Well, if it's a drain hole for the plug channels then the oil has to be getting around the valve cover gasket and down into where the plug is.
Have you pulled the wires and looked down in to see if there's oil in there?
I know that my 1000F leaked a bit after a valve adjustment once. The difference with the 1000F, tho, is that all the "drain" holes connect and come out the sides of the head (left and right). Plus, I just had a tiny little leak.
I pulled the cover and one of the grommet seal things for the plug hole was off center and allowing a little oil out.
