i recently purchased my civic si (d16a8 audm) and i found that it was leaking oil from the front, so i took a look under. i saw that my exhaust was covered in black, with oil drips showing. heres a pic of it. does anyone know what might be wrong here? and how much will it cost to diagnose.

it ended up being the sump plug leaking, and the previous owner tried to hide it by taping the leak up. what a moron
