You've got oil on the manifold.  Check everything anyway, but I suspect it
will take a few runs to get it all burned off.

...the cooling system doesn't usually cool the exhaust manifold... it's
too hot and would boil the coolant.  Hence the reasons for not
over-torquing the manifold bolts; it has to expand due to heat.
