From my experience it is more likely to be your cam cover gaskets leaking oil :'(.  I would check your plug wells for oil ;) ;)

The CS had an O ring Seal and If I Remember right it sits a bit lower than the exhaust so it wont be your cs leaking oil mate. might be an oil line/pipe or as lizzie said rocker gasket.

The oil leaking from the cam covers drips on the exhaust manifolds first.

After that it runs down the block and on to the CS (to the right and below the oil filter in the second pic)
