Cant tell though

oil return is on the passenger side, and the sensor (if its a 1.8 with one) would be below that point.

Should I add more oil into the engine?
Should I get more frequent oil change?

If you don't feel like solving it then why are you making a thread about it?

Check the oil level more often and top off as needed, but no need to shorten the interval between changes.

it looks like the leak is near the subframe. half moon seal? check your oil level first. if it needs oil, add some. if not, leave it alone and get some better pix from up top too
