Default Leaky rocker cover bolt

"99 Sporster Custom

I have one rocker cover bolt that weeps a little oil. I have installed a new bolt and gasket, but it still leaks. Any ideas out there.

I tried that with the old bolt with no luck. Going to try it with the new bolt. Was just wondering if anybody else has seen this problem.
