The other oil leak I'm guessing comes from the dipstick blowing out of the tube. The oil was changed this year no more then 2000 miles ago as I've only put about 900 on it since I purchased the car. Oil pressure is still where it should be. As far as how it got so low I'm not sure. There's no big puddles under the car. Just usually about a spot the size of a quarter accumulates when I park the car. It only gets driven maybe once a week.

Well...others will chime in but first you have to drain the oil. Then you have to determine
what is contaminating the oil and if this has been going on for years or just something new since your last oil change. Has the top end been removed at any time for example?
Just go slow and follow the leads others might help you with.
Something is not adding up on the oil level. You have to remove the Plenum and fix that oil leak in any event.
It appears the oil was changed by others 2,000 miles ago and not an oil change by yourself. So this issue of contaminants could have been long term issue and maybe oil was NOT changed 2,000 miles ago after all.
