Simple, potentially looks like valve cover gasket is gone and is dripping oil down the head
or even possibly a blown head gasket to me ..... don't ride it until it's resolved

Yep - cam cover gasket.
Quite common for people to seat them incorrectly when replacing the cam cover after a valve check
The small drain holes are to allow any water to escape from the spark plug holes.
