It's one of your motor mounts. It's not engine oil it's fluid that is in the mount to dampen engine movement. This is not uncommon.

its common, and besides the mess not a huge problem. Time for a replacement, the choices are either another OEM, or a hard urethane unit.

If you replace with the OEM mount, replace the lower mount also.

With an '06, it would still be covered under warranty if the car is under 4 years/50K miles.
