I unbolted my long tubes to make room for my clutch swap. As I was pulling the bolts out I noticed oil on the threads. Is this a serious problem or are they ok to run like they are?

I installed both the headers and heads. I guess I should have specified I have aftermarket heads they are TSP 5.3 heads. The oil didn't leak from the valve covers. I looked in the holes with a flash light and it's defanitly coming from the header bolt holes.
