Oil loss plus idle problem:weird

so this problem is really weird and i tried to search but im not sure what might be wrong. So i found a little oil loss and then the car started idleing really hard. Its more like shaking constantaly after i added a half a quart or oil. Im thinking it might be the maf but i have no idea. any help is appreciated

could be MAF.. could also be coils?,.. are you throwing any codes(CEL on) ? most likly it would be a 1320 for coils fyi and then anotehr specifying which coil .. is it only like that on cold starts? what about when its already warmed up?

leaking oil or burning oil? your saying your problem is that you added oil and now your car is idling rough? check to see if your throwing any codes. like mist max said it def. could be maf problem.

well its not throwing any codes. its actually leaking oil but not that much to actually tell on a dip stick. also i have no idea if this happens when its warm because the engine shakes way too much i think to let it run that long.
