Mark the real culprit is your painter, if the head was black you wouldn't notice the oil.... Jokes aside this is wicking up the stud from the cylinder which means you have a weak spot at the gasket. What David says could be your problem.
Pull the nut and washer off, clean around the stud, scratch the paint off the pedestal (Paint deforms under load and gives you a false torque reading), apply a bit of sealer to the washer on both sides as well as to the thread and underneath the nut and then fit & torque to 25lbs, leave to cure and then go for a test drive.
The sealer will stop the oily stuff wicking up, but won't cure the underlying problem
Aye
