Question oil leak(front iron)

Hey guys I have an oil leak on my front iron thats got me stumped. Its right on top of the iron right underneath the ditributor vac. advance. It looks like a plug of some sort. Theres also another one of these on the side of the front iron(same side) and thats leaking as well. Can anyone tell me what these are for and what would cause oil to leak out there? I have 0 miles on this motor. BTW its a 4port 13B using 12A irons. If someone wants to host the pics I can send them to you. For some I reason I cant attach any on here.

Thanks, Ed

Are you trying to say the stock brass plugs are leaking?

if its brass plug leaking, hit it lightly with something small and hammer, it will expand and stop leaking.....atleast thats how it worked on one of our engines
