Is this a sign of a bad head gasket? **PICS**
So I took the exhaust off today to find where oil is leaking & burning off other than the oil pan gasket. Here are some pics, anyone have an idea?




I was told that it looked like the head gasket is bad and hence the oil is coming out & burning off on the exhaust manifold.

I would start by cleaning that motor up well and once all the oil and gunk is removed let run the car and see were the leak is coming from. just my 2 cents
Bad head gasket for sure. You should have the head taken to a machine shop to make sure that its not warped, before installing a new gasket or you will continue to have the same problem.
How does your coolant look? Like chocolate milk? Or really dirty?
