umm I dont think its straight oil. unless one of your pistons rings are royally jacked up and youre really blasting oil into the exhaust pipe but your car would run like complete shit if that were the case. prove it to yourself by taking of the exhaust manifold and see if crap is leaking from it.

it could just be moisture that developed in the exhaust mixed with the carbon residue
