Spraying oil? Please help!

Car is sparying oil from an unknown location. I've narrowed it down to where this picture is circled. I wont be driving/starting it until I can figure it out to avoid irreversalable damage and I cant afford to literally keep running oil through it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You circled the exhaust. De-grease everything and look again.

Is your car an auto trans? What color is the fluid?

Is it actually spraying oil? Or is the oil actually just concentrating in the circled area? Need more info. For starters, it looks like your valve cover is leaking as there is oil residue/dirt build up. The source of the leak may be from there. As stated, clean it up, take a short drive, then re-inspect and post more info.
