My bet is that its the oil filter. The oil pan has a FIPG (form in place gasket). Go outside right now and check the oil level. I'm sure it's low. The engine will not tolerate low oil levels. So do the steps as follows.
1. Drain oil
2. Take off old oil filter (make sure the gasket is still on it)
3. Clean oil filter housing
4. Put drain plug back in
5. Put oil on new oil filter gasket
6. Put 5 quarts of oil in it
7. Start car for 30 seconds then turn off
8. Check oil level
You should be good to go. If it still happens, take it to an oil changing shop and they'll look to see where it's leaking from for no charge. At least the place I work at will. If you didnt clean the oil filter housing, it would have a bad seal. All it needs is a little dirt to make a bad seal.
