I don’t think it’s coming from the RAVE. I think that’s coming from the exhaust gasket on the bottom cylinder of that picture. I bet if you check the manifold bolts… they are coming loose, but if they are… you will need new gaskets to fix the issue.

Might check the hoses going to the RAVES. I had almost the exact same oil pattern...just not as much. It was a cracked rave hose. Replaced and no more problem.
