Sounds like slightly leaking valve seals - accumulates around the valve seat after dripping down the valve stem from the oil sitting on top of the head. Won't need to worry about that when you replace the heads as long as you have new seals which im sure you will as you are using different valves. Can't really be the injector as that pressure is electronically regulated.

Longer a car sits, the more likely it is to happen. Also the warmer it is the more likely as well - lower viscosity.
