oil leak

hi guys. Recently I have observed oil leak from a bolt (see pic.), although it is tightly screwed. I guess this bolt is for the oil pressure. Any ideas what to do? Have anyone else the same problem? Thanks

Nikos, it seems that the copper washers on the joint may be leaking a little.

If you obtain replacement washers (No 23) it would be better to heat them to cherry red then cool in cold water to anneal (soften) them before fitting.

The point of leakage is the junction of the oil delivery supply to the head. Ideally it should not be leaking.

thank you Martyn for the advice.
I shall replace the copper washers, after having softened them, and I hope it will stop the leak.
