This sealant was used in numerous places on the engine. This can be made worse if someone does a cam cover or sump plate job and uses the wrong sealant or too much sealant.
The sump and cam covers on this engine are OEM and have never been resealed. I have been seeing this for years, and have seen some engines fail from this alone, especially on the track where oil starvation is always a concern, even if the oil pick up tube isn't blocked.
