Oil leak in the garage.

I have had a small puddle in the garage, but i think it was mainly from swapping lift pumps and what not in the same spot. Today i noticed the spot was quite a big bigger than normal and had oil in it. This is the spot where my truck idles for 10 minutes each morning before work. The oil looks to be coming from the exhaust manifold area.

I noticed there is a little oil around the valve covers. Is this probably my issue? My oil level is still A-OK.

I've noticed that on mine before also. It looks like the oil is coming out of the number 1 exhaust manifold port. My valve covers leak pretty good but from where it hits the exhaust manifold I'd a different spot than where it looks like the oil is coming out.
