More info please. This is on the front of the car? Are you sure it's motor oil and not another fluid. What color is the fluid?
To locate the source, start at the bottom and follow the trail of fluid up.
If it's the back of the car, it could be the pinion seal (differential).
Until you fix the leak, kitty litter is a good absorbant, or maybe throw a pan under the drip. And by all means, keep an eye on your fluid levels.

Were you racing/driving hard?
You say sway, so I assume it is in the rear.
Maybe diff fluid., but could be any oil from the front working it's way back (unlikely).
If you can, clean it up, and park over some fresh paper (butcher paper works great) then you can tell what area it is emmanating from and what color the leaking stuff is.

it is the front of the car, sorry. i thought i had a sway bar in the fromt. i believe it's oil. although i could be wrong. when i touched the ground, it was thin and slick, with a light brown hue to it.
i will isolate the problem and get back to you all. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR QUICK REPLY. YOU'RE THE BEST! stay posted.

If its oil from the front it could be from the timing cover. Id check and see if it looks like it's coming from the power steering box as well. Those have been known to take a crap after enough miles.
