Default oil from an intake bolt hole?

I was flipping my motor around on the stand and had left it turned over for an hour or so. When I came back it looked like there was oil coming from the intake bolt hole closest to the #7 cylinder end of that head. I thought these intake bolt holes were blind?
Gotta be coming from the knock sensor/valley pan right?

I havent pulled the stock oil psi sensor loose, can they leak?

motor: stock L59

I think you're right about the holes being blind. Just take it apart and follow the oil. you will find it soon.

They are blind. There is no way oil could come from that bolt unless there was some sort of crack in the head.
