Oil seepage at head

I'm seeing this oil seepage under my head, and wondering what it might be or if this is normal.
I was looking because I've been smelling a raw fuel smell lately, and remember the same thing when I had my 05 truck and them replacing a banjo bolt. So I went under the hood to have a look and came across this.

Definitely a valve cover gasket seep for the black

The gray looks like a seepy fuel line connection maybe

Well a Cummins is like a Harley ...If it aint leakin oil theres something wrong.

Aside from that it doesn' look to bad but I wouldnt expect it one a 2 year old

Talk to your dealership. I'd think warrentee should cover it..... all it is is a little valve cover weepage

I'll let it go another 60k miles and fix it before the warranty runs out.
Interesting comment about the fuel seepage, as I've noticed a raw fuel smell lately, enough to make me sick as I walk by the front end with the motor running.
I'd like to find the culprit to the smell.
