I can't really see much on the photo.
I assume 440 R/B?
The only place oil goes up under pressure is on one of the Rocker Stands, whilst there are several drain back points, just under gravity.
I would have thought that would be some way away from the Header pipe.
Are you absolutely sure it is not a Rocker Box leak, they can be deceptive...
