Smoke from Y pipe 99 330k

This car has been smoking for awhile, upon notice it’s coming from the part where the y pipe connects to the other thing, exhaust manifold? Not to sure.... car does leak oil so I wonder if it’s dripping onto there, anyway here a link to a video of the smoke

How much oil is it losing? The smoke is likely just oil. But if it's smoking each time you drive it has a pretty sketchy leak that you should get sorted soon

Usually every 2 times filling up, so maybe every 450-600 miles I go from full amount of oil to near empty where the car warns me about oil level.
