I first would read the check engine codes. sounds like either o2 sensors or MAP sensor.

Oil leaks are not the easiest things in the world to diagnose. First, I'd clean up all underneath the car and get rid of all the oil on the motor. Then start the car and get underneath to determine just where the leak is coming from. Wind/air passing under the car tends to blow oil everywhere and can make it look like oil is coming from some place that it's not. So cleaning it up and getting a good look at where it actually starts leaking is important. Like others have said, it could be the rear main seal, turbo return line, a few other odd seals here and there, or a combination of the above.
