What is this bolt for on passenger head?

In the pic below, what is this bolt for? It's located on the passenger's side head right behind the intake plenum.
It had oil around it and the HPX fitting so I wasn't sure if oil was running from the HPX fitting to this bolt, or of this bolt also tapped into the oil gallery.

I "think" that is for the engine hoist loop. All 3 of those bolts are for the hoist loop if memory serves me correctly.

OK, two with flanges are for that hoist loop, the one without leads to the HPO rail, as do all the others that look just like it.

What Mark and Jason said. Thankfully I was 2/3 right this time instead of being completely wrong.

You’re good! It’s a team effort around here.

Not sure if anyone mentioned the possibility of the plug being the OP’s leak source. I think these are Oring boss style and just seal on the oring. Might have loosened up or be in need of a new oring.
@Sous , clean this statement up for me if I’m sideways please.

You're all wrong. That bolt holds the two halves of the head together. All you guys fretting over which tool to get when replacing injector cups are morons. You can actually split the head down its length like a Subway sandwich and pick the filling (i.e. cups) out.

I’m trying out a more restrictive intermittent fasting schedule. I may have been hypoglycemic when I made my previous post.

No matter the cause of the post, it was quite funny to read.
