Headers leaking?

I just got finished replacing my oil pressure sensor and creating a pcv system. So when I went to start up the motor everything seem to run as normal but I still have low oil pressure (idle still remains 20-25 psi/30-35 upon start up). As you can see from the following video I had some other surprises in store for me….

From what I can tell their seems to be clear smoke coming from under neither the headers but this could just be condensation. I also saw what appears to be a leak of some kind that I’ll have to investigate. I give up and will not attempt to remedy a solution for the oil pressure any longer and will be pulling the block come spring/summer.
