kinda freaking out, input please! engine/ oil issue

So the past couple of days my 83 has been up on ramps because i decided to try and find an oil leak, remove the ac and put my rs panels in. First thing i did was clean up as much of the underside of the engine (than i let the car sit for a day and nothing). Next day i decide since the oil leak isnt presenting itself ill install the door panels and take the upper/ easier parts of the ac out. That leads me to this evening when i go out to see if the engine has any fresh oil spots and it does. nothing major just a nice little trail ending at the oil sump plate. as im looking around im horrified to see this. Im pretty new to the porsche thing but, my gut is telling me WTF. can someone please, please please tell me what is wrong here. it looks as if im missing a half moon seal or something. this is at the rear most dead center of the block. if this is the case how does something like this happen and is there a fix?
