**** that bay is Dirty! I'd scrape the old seam sealer off, clean the bay a bit and apply new 2 part seam sealant

it does look like cracked seam sealer but pictures won't tell all. find a thin pocket screw driver or something like it and scribe across the crack. if its soft them its seam sealer, if it feels solid then there's a crack in the metal. high strength steal does crack but its unlikely in your case, i could be wrong
