Get your manifold replaced, then pull it off and put on your header. That manifold is a $1000+ part for free, take it!

Last night (after probably the best night I've had all year) I drove my car back into the driveway and I noticed when I got out that I left behind a trail of like some liquid substance where I was driving.

I don't think that this is an oil leak, but could this have something to do with the cracked exhaust manifold/permeating heat under the car?

 

Check the fluid and see what it is! If it's not oil, it's likely either coolant or water. Were you running your A/C? If so, that drips lots of water.

 

Yeah, the A/C was on. Very well could be the problem.
