what does it mean when oil drips between your cat and catback
I don't have the catback to the cat tighten on too tight so I have an exhaust leak. I only parked the car for about 14hrs and when I went to start it up, smoke came out like crazy. Then when the some calmed down a bit I revved it and saw that drips of oil came out from the gasket of the catback. What does that mean? Is it the turbos? It dripped about the size of a 3" diameter
How else can oil get in the exhaust besides the turbos?

It's possible your just seeing condensed water that collects in the exaust overnight leaking out. It would take a SERIOUS oil leek to produce drips from the exaust. It could be coolant however which is bad so keep an eye on the level.
