What type of leak is this? **pic inside**

Slowly started to appear, wondering if a gasket needs to be replaced:

NmexMAX, is this something I could fix myself? Is it leaking oil or gas or what?

Its not the most difficult thing to do, just a little time consuming. Make sure your engine is cold when you are gonna do it cause you will be elbows deep for a while.
