Can anyone tell me what's under here? And does this look like something that can be solved with some RTV? (which I have handy.)TIA

Default Dead cat, or skunk? Sure, Si caulk will will seal the cover. Remove, clean, and apply Si...
with or without the old cleaned gasket.

Default Go ask on the C4 forum.
Valley pan gasket failure is very common on the 12v V6. They will have some suggestions.

What's under there? Not much.

Default Is that antifreeze mixed with oil :P
That wouldn't be funny. Steam clean the engine then see how bad the leak is after driving it couple times. It just might be a very slow leak that you can fix whenever

Default One more thing.. Do any of you know what this port is for? >
It's located near the rear of the driver's side head. There wasn't anything attached to it. Is it just a leftover from something that was available on Euro 4.2's?

That's an intake port, cap it off and you'll save gas!
