Head gasket leaking outside engine? 200 1993

Hello, I think my engine is leaking oil where the cylinder head meets the block. I completely cleaned the engine (which was covered in oil and debris), then let it idle for 10 minutes. I saw oil starting to leak where the metallic heads meet the red block, specifically above the oil filter and below the intake manifold. Worse, I just checked my oil and found it bone dry, needing two quarts.

Is it common for a 1993 240 with 200k miles to leak at this junction? How can this leak be stopped? I'm willing to have a shop do any complex work.

Thanks.
