Any ideas? There's occasionally some condensation build up around both spots and minor drip spots on my driveway, to clarify, water drops and not oil.

I plan on picking some up this weekend when I get some more blinker fluid. I figured it was soot, but the strong oil smell gave me doubts.

Hate to bump an old thread, and especially one that makes me look like an idiot, but can anyone help identify this? Doesn't seem to be a weep hole. Condensation was dripping from this spot also. Since noticing this i've also noticed an odd smell in the cab of the truck.

With that Swiss cheese in the pipe you're worried it smells like oil?

I have two leaks as well. Looks like oil on my garage floor.
