I checked your other posts just to make sure this wasn't a put on. You need to get much more informed about the basics of your car before you start worrying about super-wide body kits or a 500 hp engine. Right now you're on the verge of owning a dead car and a big bill for a new engine.
Do not drive the car again until you have this oil leak problem fixed. Take it to a knowledgeable rotary mechanic.
It's not possible to diagnosis your problem at a distance, but the first place to start is to see if the correct oil filter is on the car and if it was tightened sufficiently. Is there oil leaking from the filter base? If not, look for the highest point on your engine where you find fresh oil and trace the leak. Get it fixed before you drive it again.
Then thoroughly read the stickies in this section before you destroy a rather complicated and sometimes fragile high performance car. This ain't a gas and go car. If you notice a problem, attend to it right away or you may find yourself with a stylish but immobile 2800 lbs of steel, aluminum, and plastic.
