I agree, looks like short trips, decent oil changes. Just water vapor condensing on the valve cover from short trips.

Those engines often crack heads under the valve covers.
It sort of looks like those med school pics of "this is your lungs after 10 years of smoking".

How can the valve cover be so nasty... and the valve train be so clean in comparison?
Is this from an 2009 by chance? Some of these LS head castings for a few year would develop micro cracks around the head studs. This would cause a small coolant leak.

Short trips never reaching operating temperature. That engine needs to run on the highway and get up to operating temperature, an stay there for a while.
Condensation, short trips.
