Something leaking

Can anyone tell me what is leaking here? The drips appear brown and oil. Is this oil from further forward, or something from the bushing itself?

I bought my car used and it came like this; I got my rear two diff mounts replaced at the same time.

For bonus points--anyone know what causes these to explode?

Well given that I use it as my track car (autocross and lapping) that is a distinct possibility...
