retorque heads to solve issue?

More like the kind of soot you get in the exhaust tips. When I wiped it off, it didn't feel oily.

It looks oily, it has that shine. Possibly oil from the china wall seeping and creeping as you drive then when you stop it flows down. The cooling fan and driving kicks dirt and grime on it. The think about china wall leaks is they are not overly prevalent until you drive, they won't leak much if at all until you drive. Speaking of oil leaks, what are you running for a PCV system?
