Welcome! Looks like the car is now in good hands! When you replace your top, get the glass. I got mine from Auto Tops Direct on their eBay store. The broken emblem is another easy fix, I had to do mine as well.

Congratulations Rawley! I think I know exactly how you feel!

As others have hinted you could have a failing IMS bearing leaking the oil. You should at a minimum remove the oil filter & inspect it for metal. You need a 74mm oil filter wrench & about a half quart of oil to replace what drains out.
