Does this mean a gasket leak? Is this something concerning? I was looking to buy this for dirt cheap but I'm not experienced enough to deal with major issues

#

Looking at the brown metal, its dirty, sticky, and a little oily. The dipstick is showing the oil is fine

Keep in mind it gets really hot so stuff likes to melt into it

#

Plus it’s a Toyota so it cant really go wrong

#

If ur worried abt a head gasket , start the engine and look for white smoke after a couple minutes

#

Or check under the oil fill cap

The other side you see is the intake manifold

The other exhaust manifold is under the intake manifold
