Can anyone help me with what all this bunk is coming from?

Already did my VCG but I don't know if this gunk is from the head gasket or the oil filter housing gasket. Any ideas will be appreciated!

Chances are OFHG. That's what it looks like.

+1 on the OFHG. I would degrease and get a better idea of where it's coming from.

would be better if you can zoom out on the video to get a better overall view, but based on the video, i would agree with other people it seems like the OFHG. Decrease the engine and keep track of the dirt built up over the week. I recently did my VCG too and continued to have residues like yours, turns out my Engine Oil Cap was leaky also.

Did you just buy a new oil cap?

You don't have to buy a new oil cap, you can buy a new gasket: part number 11127565165 called "profile gasket", which according to RealOEM is only $6.02.

Thank you sir

No problem. I had almost replaced the entire cap as well before I learned about the gasket too. I just want to share the knowledge that I learn from some helpful members here.

Kill two birds with one stone: Next time you do an oil change make sure to get a filter that comes with the o-rings.

I change them every oil change. Plus just that wouldn't make this big mess
