There is no such thing as THE Gutsy source code.
You have source code of all the packages included in the main Gutsy repository (including kernel).
To download a source package, issue this command in a console:

apt-get source package_name

Where package_name is the name of the package (for instance for the gnome display manager this is gdm).
You can also download the kernel source (patched with the ubuntu patches) as package linux-source-2.6.22

Note that you need to enable the gutsy repositories in sources.list to be able to download gutsy packages.

Alternatively, you can download directly from http://packages.ubuntu.com/src:package_name (with the example above this will be http://packages.ubuntu.com/src:gdm for the Gnome Display Manager).
