Hey mister, your car's on fire!!

My 95 900S 2.3 has a leaky rear main seal which drips onto the hot exhaust and catalytic converter, leading to an embarrasing "hey mister, your car's on fire" situation in stop and go traffic. I only go through a quart every 3000 miles or so, so I was just going to put off the fix until it's time for a new clutch.
Anyway, I was looking through a performance catalog the other day and found some high-temperature tape for insulating exhaust systems. I started wondering if a layer of this tape in the affected area would cure the smoking problem. Of course, I understand that the car would still drip oil in the driveway, but I'd be okay with that.
So is this stuff safe to stick on my exhaust? How about on the cat, should it remain exposed for cooling? Maybe only tape the upper side of the pipes? Anybody tried anything like this before? Maybe there's an alternate method that simply redirects drips to the ground instead of to the exhaust?
I appreciate your help
