Default anybody have oil stains around the headers?

I can see where it looks like oil coming from some of my exhaust ports and barely seeping out around the header flanges. I'm kinda worried. What causes that?

No, I haven't noticed any. It's been cold and it has, but it's normal. No valve cover leaks.

mine def isnt coming from valve covers sounds like the same thing as the other guy ,def coming out of the exhaust ports i cleaned em about 2 weeks ago and it came back.opinions wanted .the only coincidence is that i did lightly overfill my oil a tiny bit but i dont think this did it .
