could it be where the exhaust mets the cylinder?

Yes, I have seen a lot of oil in that area. What would cause that?

a bad seal around the pipe is one. 2 you could have lost the gasket between the pipe and the cylinder

there is a gasket on your exhaust port. that goes between the head, and your header. but oil should not becoming out there, that mean's that your pulling oil past your rings. Does is smoke at all?
