Default Flywheel bolt holes??

Ive got a small amount of oil coming from one of the bolt holes when the engine is at an angel (the flywheel is off with no bolts in the holes) it's not coming out when the engine is at the normal angle in the bay just when it's let down and it's at an angle when the flywheel end is pointing towards the floor is this normal or has a seal gone

the flywheel holes in the crank go straight into the engine, if the bolts are out then oil will leak out if the engines on the piss, dont sweat it
