Agree with everyone else. Valve cover leaks are very common and just a bit of oil on the hot exhaust manifold will stink. Super easy repair. Just use a little sealant to keep the gasket in place while you instill it. Go ahead and replace your spark plugs and upper timing chain guide while you're in there.
There's a much smaller chance it could be dripping from somewhere under the engine onto the exhaust, but I'll bet it's the valve cover.
