Looks like valve cover gasket. Haver you replaced them before? Looks like you still have factory gaskets unless someone replaced again with the black oem gaskets. Make sure those bolts are tightened, but good idea to replace the gaskets/bolts if never done or you aren't sure when it was done. Also when filling up oil it's sometimes easy for it to overfill leak on mine since that baffle always has gummed up oil impeding flow. But vid looks like top is dry and it's leaking from gaskets. Take the top plastic cover off and take another look
