Angry Something happend to my oil

Hey guys, lets see if you can help me out....
I have a 97 E420, and under the hood on the the back left there is oil all over the place.....Something blew, and im trying to figure out what it was.....I even went under the car in the same area and there was oil ALL over my exhaust.

Any idea?

thanks

I don't have your model year but it sounds like you have a blown rear main seal. Start the car and leave in idle. You may be able to tell the origin of the leak. If it's the seal, big $ to put a new one in there since tranny has to come out first!!!
