Oil leak and a little smoke?

So after aggressively driving on a highway, i came back to my driveway where i noticed a burning smell. I checked under and saw oil all over the control arms (i think thats what their called) and it looks like oil just exploded all over the bottom of my car. I also saw a little bit of what it looked like to be white smoke. Ive learned that these cars leak, burn, and consume a lot of oil. Im trying to figure out if its still safe to drive and to just top off the oil? Would love some help!

Lowered a 2005 g35 and i really really like the ride hight but now i believe im rubbing the fender liner (it sounds like a zip) and when im turning even when theres little bumps it sounds like its rubbing on something but the sound is really bad. I dont believe its slammed from what ive seen but any recommendations? I also found out it ripped the windshield wiper fluid tubing so thats a unfortunate. Btw fenders are rolled and so far from driving the fenders have no cosmetic damage ever since the coilovers were installed.

So for context i installed some coilovers for the car and its pretty low at least in my opinion. Im not sure if thats what its causing the clunking but, whenever i go over a rough road or a bump, i get extremely intense clunking noise and i need help troubleshooting or finding the issue. My coilovers or preloaded, all bolts that are connected to the suspension and turning are tight. All i can assume is the bushings are bad. Also would it be worth it to upgrade to a better suspension system? Any parts you guys would recommend or links to websites? I would appreciate it and all the help i can get with my journey!
