There's also this soot under the hood of my car, presumably from the 'exhaust' leak.

That stuff on the hood looks like some fluid was slung up there by a pulley or a belt. Does the belt look/feel "wet" or does any pulley have a residue on it?

I suggest you clean it off the hood and see if it comes back.

As far as the dark header, I suggest you contact the manufacturer to see if they can give you any insight.

Again, do you know what that header is made of or was coated with?
