Chances are it came out the dipstick tube, it will blow out and shoot oil everywhere if it is overfilled or your flame trap is clogged. You didnt state Turbo or Non Turbo, the Non turbos had the flame trap honeycomb thing that can get clogged.
I find it hard to believe it was overfilled 3 weeks ago and is just now giving you trouble, an overfill condition would spew oil everywhere right off the bat.

Youve already determind why you had an oil spill on your driveway so you can ignore that for the moment, Id be more concerned on where the oil left the engine then anything at this point.

More information on your issue will help in diaging it, first thing to do is make the best determination on where the oil came from! Check Your Dispstick, is the hood saturated above the dipstick? are your flame trap hoses all still connected? ( non turbo model ) Turbo models just have hoses where the flame trap is. Did you blow out a Freeze Plug?
