Could just be a cam cover gasket gone leaking onto exhaust

That could be oil from rocker cover gasket ( or somewhere else ) dripping on manifold?

I had the rocker cover bolts stretch a bit and it was dripping on the exhaust , I put thin washers on a retightened as the gaskets were brand new , problem solved , hopfully yours is a minor thing
