Oil leak (maybe a cylinder head gasket?)
Update: After I removed the front plate I found the camshaft seals leaking and replaced them. Now I will continue to check the leakage at the exhaust manifold side. Maybe it was just the same oil coming down from the camshaft seals.

Fun is not the straight line!

Cap tightened down on the already in place seal, or seal pounded into the already tightened down cap? Sealant between cap & head?

Just pounded seal into the already tightened down cap.

better take the first caps off, get sealer to correct place and put the seal on place and then tight the cap..

The sealer is to seal the joint between the cap and the head. If you
didn't have the caps off, then you should have no problem just pounding
the new seals into the head Smile That's how the FSM says to install them.
