That's what you're calling a "connection to the oil pan"? Interesting.

Anyway, the dipstick isn't fully inserted for starters. Maybe it's oil leaking out from that and dripping down onto the header and burning up? Or from the dipstick seal where it goes into the engine block? IIRC that was a common issue.
