oil leak :( just underneath manifold - Saxperience

now i think i already know the answer, just dont wanna admit it. lol. but ive just developed a pretty bad oil leak. it looks like its coming from under the manifold on both the front corners of the engine, my water is very sludgey and brown and when the engine has been running and just turned off its making like a leaking air noise from just inside the cam cover. im thinking headgasket???????

How many miles?
Usuallualy let go around 60k, get the head off and get it sorted mate, no point torturing yourself.
