I get an oil buildup right in these areas and the two bolts next to them are tight. Any ideas of the cause?

Yup. Looks like there may be some seepage around the bolt going through the exhaust cam plug. The plugs are rubber and get brittle after a while. Might as well check valve clearances as long as you have the cover off for gasket and plug replacement.
