Looks like your front intake seal is gone.

I agree, looks like the intake seal needs replacing. Very common issue around 80 - 90k miles. Both mine ('96) and by brothers ('97) did the same thing. The RTV tends to degrade at the front and the rear Do you also have oil down the back of the block?

Yup looks like the dreaded Intake leak. Mine happened at 70k on my 93, and happened at 27K on my 95...
