I have almost the same thing, I thought it was because of 130K miles and no cleaning of the engine.
Yes how much is the gasket and how bad is it if it does that?

Jeez you guys, he did not blow a gasket, its just seepage from the gasket between the upper and lower plenums... not suprising seeing that engine has 130K on it it has never been degreased...degrease the engine and see if it returns in mass quantitiy...if it does, then rplace the gaslet...that is like a $10 gasket... no big deal, just spend a saturday afternoon to remove the manifold and replace the gasket (if seepage there really bothers you that much)...
