MAJOR PROBLEM!

I am very dissappointed right now. My buddy and I finished changing the oil, followed the instructions on the HOW-TO all the way through, started the car, waiting 1 minute, no Oil Light came on. WE LEFT THE BLACK PLASTIC MESH AND THE SPRING IN THE ASSEMBLY. (i wish i had a digital camera to show you, but no such luck)

I decided to take it for a ride in the neighborhood, about 3 minutes into the ride, .5 miles away from my house i looked in the rear view mirror and saw smoke. within 10 seconds, the time it took to stop the car and turn it off smoke was pouring into the car and around it. Oil was spilling in a long trail. I spent the last 30 minutes pushing the car up the hill back home. I am exhaused, nauxious, in pain and really pissed off. Could mini have sold me the wrong filter or are mini oil filters the same?

Someone please help. What should I do next? I will investigate the oil leak.
