Probly talking about it dripping onto the piping. Check your oil filter. If oil is coming out of the front check your valve cover gasket. My F22A had oil all over the front of it cause the gasket was bad.

so is the oil all over the underside of the car?
can you tell where the source is?
If your car is sitting in neutral, can you see it dripping.
It could be a number of things. Oil cooler gasket/0-ring, rear
main seal, cam seals, etc.
We need more datailed information for a better analysis

the oil is coming from the top of the header where it touches the engin like where it is bolted to it. it looks like its coming from a bolt.

sounds like a blown headgaskett or blown head seal if its dripping onto the header. if theres oil coming out of hte back its probably from the oil filter not being sealed to the block correctly
