I took another look at the manifold and think it is just exhaust leakage from where the manifold attaches to the head. I suppose the supplied gasket will fix that.
Be sure the lip seal is positioned leaning inward towards the front of the engine, and the rear seals off-set from the main cap parting line by about 1/4" to reduce the tendency to leak oil.

Also when putting the sealant on.
Here a suggestion from a borrowed Picture
