It would be easier to comment if we knew where you were located, like in South Africa or in San Francisco, CA which would make an estimate for repairs more accurate. That being said, it sounds like you have an oil leak from top engine cover gaskets. Mine are starting to do that, and recently I got an estimate of $500 from a local MB shop. In your case, you need to take it in and have it inspected. An oil leak dripping on exhaust pipes is not safe too.

Sometimes the cam plugs leak, and I am wondering if that is part of what you are looking at. Their replacement is not a big ticket item.
