I was wondering if anybody could help me out? what im most worried about is oil even supposed be in that area. its coming out of the driver side right under the exhaust manifold. I don't know what to do should i just replace the freeze plug or is there something else wrong with my engine.

Please help with any knowledge thank you

the other freeze plug on that side is behind the power steering pump. only supposed to be water in freeze plugs.

its the one right behind the power steering pump so its not supposed to have oil? there is no coolant coming out from it. its also a s15 sr20det if that makes a difference
