I've seen those on my engine also, That's when I start checking the bolts on the valve covers. For some reason on my car they loosen up from time to time. And then I find at least half of the bolts need tightening. I've had that problem with the oil, and trans pans also. Never understood why they like to loosen up.

thanks for the tip i'll have a look...

A dab of thread locker might help.

I think the cheep oil breather i am using my be throwing mist into the engine compartment.
As soon as I replace it I might have my answer.
but any insight is always welcome.

Also replace your pcv valve. If that and the new breather doesn't help, do a compression leak down test. An excessive amount of blow by will over pressurize the crankcase.
