Default Lx470 oil leaking onto manifold

Hi noticed burnt smell and oil leaking from both sides of motor onto exhaust manifolds.

Looks like it is coming from valve cover?
Is this normal and can I just tighten the valve cover bolts to stop? 166k 2003 model.

Cheers

Gavin

Default Fixed

Pulled off stuff from around both rocker covers. Every single rocker cover holt was loose. Most took 4-6 full turns to tighten! Degreased cleaned and put back. All good. Thank you me.

How tight did you torque the bolts?
