oil leak somewhere.....

[drtyryd]

i have an oil leak coming from somewhere under the exhaust manifold and dripping on the flange to the down pipe(and smoking like crazy!!!)It is really hard to tell but there is a fitting on the manifold where the pipes off motor come together and become one.it looks like a grease fitting type nipple with a big slit in it,i guess my question is what is that fitting and does it connect to anything??? and is it even possible that oil could come out of it??
any help would be great,
im getting tired of people telling me my jeep is on fire at red lights.....
