Cracked Cylinder Head

I know its a 12 dollar part, but I'm low on money and I promised myself I wouldn't dump anymore money into the bike.

Is it okay to ride temporarily? Its leaking a TINY bit of oil out the side but its nothing major, and it runs really well still.
 
Are you sure there's a crack or is the head gasket leaking? Improper torque and a head that hasn't been lapped can contribute to head leakage. Also the chrome acorn nuts might be your problem if you're using them.

It isn't unheard of; I've seen a brand new cylinder head that had a crack up through the spark plug threads but I'd need to see where you suspect your cylinder head is cracked.
Any close up photos?
