Wipe it all clean. Go for a little drive until it's warmed up. Park it on the level. Open the bonnet and let it cool down. Carefully look and/or feel around the rocker cover gasket as I would definitely think that is the number one culprit if oil is dripping onto the exhaust manifold. It may have been fitted incorrectly/nipped or possibly be a cheap/inferior quality item. Was RTV sealant used on the quadrant sections ?

The replacement of the rocker cover gasket would be my concern too as it probably wasn’t fitted correctly. At least that would be an easy fix.

Sorry, it's the 2.0.

It's quite common for a rocket cover gasket on the 2.0 to still leak after replacement. This is due to the cover itself warping ever so slightly. The solution is a new cover which is expensive or simply use some liquid gasket/sealant on the rubber gasket to get a good seal.
