Default Oil & Exaust leak Questions

Oil Leak.....
I have a small oil leak. I started after the Dyno tune. It is dripping only when I stop and park (not sure if it is "spraying" while driving) (not a lot of oil everywhere, but my cats are usually smokin a bit, but not "covered in oil). There is also "NO" oil on my fire wall if it were mt head gaskets/head cover gaskets.
It only drips a few drops (3-6) and then stops when parked. It is running down the back of my oilpan between the flywheel and block.

Is this a bad main seal or mabey my oil pan gasket? My oil level is still good even after a week of driving. The fluid that is coming out is black/brown (oil) and not red (tranny fluid).
1998 gt mod motor.

Exhaust leak......
I thought it was my JBA headers (cracked) but I realized the bolt holes have little slits in them normally. My question is where would my leak be? Is it at the connection of the headers and the x-pipe? Or could my header gaskets be blown? How do i go about finding the leak?
