Oil Seeping from Engine Mount Bolt

I filled up my sump with some oil after a rebuild, and on the bolt closest to the center of the engine on the aluminum engine mount, there is some oil seeping out of it. I have an oil pan baffle and a regular oil pan with what I thought was enough silicone on all surfaces. However, I didn't silicone the engine mount bolts. Is this a common leak?

Thanks!

The Atkins rebuild video requests that all bolts be siliconed during re-assembly. It also warns that oil will slowly seep out these locations if not sealed.

I didn't see or hear anything in the video about siliconing the right engine mount bolts. At least it's a simple fix. Thanks!
