Well i was at the sevenstock this weekend. And alot of guys over there leaks oil. So maybe the oil leak isn't a big problem. But is also where you are leaking your oil from. IF is from the OMP i would fix it asap. Also are you lossing oil pressure? ANd how much oil are you losing?? Personaly i am trying to fix all my oil leaks since i am going to use the car as a daily driver. And the engine still got half of it's life left in it. I also really hate oil leaks. HOpe this helps...

Check the OMP hoses and connections asap. Cleanup previously oil which will help determine exactly where it's dripping from.

Ditto on Running's suggestion. Jack it up and using sumtin like Simple Green clean up current mess. Also clean up around/under oil filter pedistal and around the oil pressure send unit (common points for leaking). Now, once all clean and tidy, the leak(s) will become self evident.

Brake fluid

Old sloppy oil changes
I am now down to one that I plan to fix, think it's PS, goes in the shop tomorrow
But I love my $$$ pit
