engine problems with pictures please help!!

it almost looks like something blew out of the side as you can see the grey rubber part coming out of the engine. I've noticed that my oil kinda smells like gasoline..
My exhaust is starting to go i can hear the exhaust sounds coming from the manifold area would a bad exhaust cause your car to run rich?

I appreciate the help i would bring my car to a mechanic but i'm moving out my moms house soon so i'm trying to save as much money as possible..

horrible picture taking skill brah. "it almost looks like something blew out of the side as you can see the grey rubber part coming out of the engine" are you referring to the liquid gasket that cinches outward when two components are mated together? if that is what you are referring to then that is normal on every engine component on every car manufacturer i've ever seen or worked on that uses liquid gasket.
a little more background to the history and or mods done to your car would help those with automotive technical skills to assist in your concerns. otherwise its all just guess work and we'll all be shooting from our hips

Completely normal. It's the liquid gasket they use to seal the front cover and several other components on the engine.
