Head gasket - What's going on here?

Just got the intake/exhaust manifold off. (that bolt under the turbo wasn't actually bad at all - one extension and a 2' pipe on the ratchet and off it came)

Anyway, after getting all that out of the way, I found this. It doesn't really look that bad...at least I don't get the impression, based on the way it looks, that it's a constant flow or is a large qty of coolant. It almost looks like a leak that happened a long time ago and stopped....and I'm just seeing the remnants of the dried coolant now.

So, curious to see what others might think of this. Harmless? Keep an eye on it? Don't go any farther and replace the head gasket NOW?
