4AGZE leaking oil

Hi guys,
After pushing my car hard on the weekend, the motor seems like it is running differently. it's a RWD mounted 4AGZE AFM, with FMIC.
I noticed after parking on the driveway, there is oil leaking from the sump (never use to leak) - but it is very minimal.
When i was driving just then, i noticed smoke comin out of the engine - and the burning smell of oil. It seems to be coming out near the fuel filter or around that area, and is smoking up everytime i have driven.
Where could it be leaking? and does this usually happen everytime the GZE is pushed hard?
HELP! i dont want any other problems!

If the sumps been removed it could be a faulty seal. The most common leaks I have had in my 2tg were from the cam cover on to the exhaust manifold. Try doing up some of the bolts, especially on the cam covers. Or take it to a mechanic, mine found mine in several minutes. Good luck

yeah, i doubt it would have been caused from previous removal - because it has only started leaking after last weekend when i pushed it hard (running WRX, Skylines and v8  ) so u can imagine the state of the engine if oil is leaking 
could something have cracked or anything major?
Also i forgot to add that the radiator coolant is very low - a result of my dopey friend taking the radiator cap off when engine still running (fountain effect -LOL), could this have caused the leaking of oil?

 degrease your engine and then see if you can see where the oil is comming from when you start it up.
no-one here can tell you where your oil leak is with-out looking at it...
it would be just guess work.
