That second picture is the flexpipe of your Y pipe, which is what collects the exhaust from both the exhaust manifolds ( or headers if you prefer).

Your flex pipe can go bad, because any movement of the exhaust pipes get absorbed there because it is meant to move, and it can start to tear near the edges, like where the flex pipe and the solid exhaust pipe start to meet it can fall apart. I doubt your exhaust manifolds are having trouble, but it is possible.

now, if i took a video of it, would you be able to tell the sound?????? because it is coming from that area of the flex pipe, but if i do a video, how can i post it onto site???? or should i just send it in an email??? well would you be able to tell where it is coming from from the sound of it???? probably not, but ill give it a shot, if u want to, PM me your emal and ill send you a video if it, plus is all of that oil near the flywheel (i think it is the flywheel) but is ther esupposed to be a plate covering that???? i would think dirt and stuff could mess it up. plus is that an oil leak, or just the oil from the flywheel?

Well now your exhaust will be like a bottle neck, you might as well go ahead and replace it all haha. But good luck with it.
