First, have the codes read. You can have this done for free at most any auto parts store for free. Then after you have it look up online and see what it means. You can ask us to help you and we can help figure it out.
As far as the oil leak goes it is probably not related to the check engine light.

The Check Engine light means there's a diagnostic fault code stored in the Engine Computer. Having that code read is the place to start. Many auto parts stores will do that for free. Get the code number as well as the description.

A leaking seal is pretty obvious. Have it replaced.
