Oil Gunk splatter inside 06 Valve Cover

Just replaced my valve cover with a JDM one. This is what I saw on the stock valve cover. Has anyone else observed this? I have not had my oil change yet.

Umm... the oil looks kind of thick... like paste. How many miles on the car?

About 2300 miles.

I edited the picture to point out the splatter that seems to have come from the valves. Splatter seems to be in line with the valves.

Update...

Just came from the dealer. I was told the splatter is break-in lube and is normal.
