Leaking upper valve cover gaskets

Based on these pics, would you guys agree that these are leaking upper valve cover gaskets?

I can't see leaks anywhere else. Minor drips here and there, nothing crazy

Thanks all

The location of the first picture, near cylinder #4, makes me think this could be some spillage from the oil filler.

thought so as well, but I haven't added oil in quite some time.

I've cleaned it up and will monitor the situation.

Thanks!

Yeah looks like spillage too. A slow seep would not have filled the head of the allen bolt with oil. Good idea to degrease then monitor.
