Pull manifold?

Pull manifold?
Working on 442 this evening, came across this sitting where the manifold and cylinder heads meet, little puddle of oil. Stuck a napkin in there to soak it up and more to its place. Not sure what happened, been driving it around this summer no issue, and never seen this before. Not sure where the rtv went. So do i need to pull the manifold and reseal it?

Ive heard of guys putting some sealant in with a syringe.
Personally, I’d dab it with a napkin every so often and not worry about it.
(but I’m lazy…and if a race car isn’t leaking oil…it means it’s out of oil)

I would suspect a valve cover leak. But it might not be that. If thats what you got after several months, it might not be worth pulling the intake manifold.

I guess my concern was that under pressure oil would be shooting out of there. Would that not happen? Could i dry it up the best i could and shoot some rtv in there to try and seal it?
