Oil around the exhaust header/head

Ok this is getting strange and it seem to get worse as i gradualy see more and more around the start of the header.
Its more on the left 4th cylinder and less as your going to the first.

What can this be ?

it could be the valve cover gasket but deep down i think its the valve seals may have went bad.

Feel free to check the build. Its a simple twin scroll setup with an evo X turbo mated to the 4-2 oem cast iron mani.
