Default Does this look right...

Was getting ready to do an oil change and found a couple drops on the plastic shroud that covers the drive shaft boot. Looked up and saw this. Should that bolt hole on the exhaust mani be split like that?

I've been getting a rattle at low RPM for a while now when slowing to a stop. Been trying to isolate it. Could this be it? Do I have a problem here? Can't see where the oil is coming from. Thanks.

Default OK they looked like awful tidy 'cracks'

Funny I never noticed them before. Any idea on where the oil leak could be? Must isolate that rattle as well.
