external inlet manifold gasket leak?

I've been doing some regular maintenance on my car today and noticed that I have a wee dribble running down the top of the gearbox. If I run the car this is coming from the top nearside rear quarter of the block, I think just below the inlet manifold.



Does this sound like an inlet manifold gasket leak? It's only a year old! Can the IMG leak externally?
