So I kept getting the check engine light and I popped the hood and saw it had little oil left so I put some in after going to school from 9-12 I got in my car and noticed a little bit of oil from different areas on the ground and I figured that's normal as I start driving home I get the check engine light again and I put oil again and it doesn't come on. After another check engine light I pop the hood with the engine on and I notice it smoking! I try to pinpoint where the smoke is coming from, but nothing. So I decide to jack up my car and see from under. I notice there is oil everywhere dripping and it's drenched!. I haven't touched my car since (2 days ago). What do I do? What is the cause? I'm also not good at car mechanics so yeah. Would it be the O-ring?

To begin, clean off all the oil. Then look specifically atthe bolts on the oil pan. Your oil pan gasket is probably the cause. Firstthing to do is to pinpoint exactly where the oil is coming from.

Check Engine Light then you put oil in. I'm confuse you sure it was not the oil light came on? Even if the check engine light is on did you pull the code?

Yeah I thought the check oil light was suppose to come on, but it was the check engine light. I'm cleaning it in the morning and pulling out the oil pan. I'll check up on that

So I checked under my car and cleaned up every screw and one was missing I fitted a new one and test drove it, but the check engine light came on again so I popped the hood and saw that there was smoke coming from the area where you check the oil gauge.

I would drain the oil, and change the gasket because that one is probably fried. I would give it a fresh oil change and when you install the new Oil pan gasket you need to make sure that you do a few things:

clean all oil from the mating surfaces
Use a small and I mean small amount of black RTV or hondabond on each mating surface (to assist with the placement of the gasket)
and torque the bolts in the correct sequence

and i think you will be ok

Id start by pulling the code. May be totally unrelated to the oil. Or it may give you a better idea of where to look....

Cam Seal or Valve cover gasket fromt he looks of the pictures. You also should pull that code ASAP before running it again.
