[plain OM]

There is also oil everywhere on the side, top and bottom and it's dripping down in several places.

Side, top and bottom of the driver side head?

If there's oil on top of the engine, check the area around the AVLS/VVL control solenoid and switch. A leaking switch could lead to oil collecting on top of the driver side head, and running down onto the exhaust manifold below. Also, the oil supply from the engine block to the head goes through a passage at the top front of the engine that's sealed by the head gasket. A breach in the gasket could lead to pumped oil leaking out on top of the engine and, similarly, running down onto the exhaust.
