Exclamation Smoke/Low Oil Pressure Warning

Had my car sitting at a shop for around 2 months, sort of rusted up the brake discs. So i'm assuming the smoke is from that, i parked and walked around and it just seemed to be from the brakes, however I opened the hood up and there was a bit of smoke coming from the back of the engine, towards the windshield, didn't want to pry, later on I am going to lift up that part to diagnose further if i'm unable to figure it out from the forums. As for the low oil pressure warning, it came on a bit after all of this, and flashed a couple times, seemed to only happen when I was braking, and when I parked it was on constantly. Temperature was fine, any ideas.

Big oil leak that throws oil to the exhaust pipe. Very low oil level.
Rusty brake discs will not smoke unless you brake them hot.
