I really can't tell if it's leaking but it looks absolutely FILTHY there, like I'm talking half an inch of grime. It's safe to say that the valley pan has never been touched, so I might as well replace it just in case. It's barely any extra work so it's worth doing.

The upper timing covers are covered in half an inch of grime as well... that should make disassembling the engine entertaining. Time to stock up on brake cleaner and degreasers.
