You've waited 1 hour between posts, and haven't posted a single picture. You have oil leaking from somewhere by the oil pan.. that's basically all you've actually said at this point and you want someone to magically solve this.

Op, diagnosing an oil leak can be hard enough, doing it on here is going to be about impossible. If it's dripping and smoking, you may be able to watch with it running just have a fire extinguisher ready.

Not being a smart ass but you're sure it's not water from the AC? Guess the smoke would have to be steam.

The only real things to leak oil and drip on the headers is a leaking valve cover or head gasket. If you think its inside your exhaust its a valve seal. You need to clean it up, put it on a lift or jack stands and watch it run. my bet is on the valve cover

Puts some uv dye in your car and buy a light and clean up your car the best you can. Then start your car in the dark and shine your light on the areas you think it's leaking and see actually where it's leaking.

It makes things a lot easier.

Just found out where its leaking from. Its leaking from the passenger side head on the back its right by where the valve covers. It looks like theres a pipe or sum sort of wire going into the head. Anybody know what it is?

I assume you're talking about the heater pipe that comes out of the back of the head, if so that has coolant in it. Nothing else back there has oil running through it.
