puddle of oil, splatter everywhere!
Had the pleasure of waking up to my car in a puddle of oil. Didnt even notice this morning, woke up early to start it. Came back to drive off to work and got critical low oil messege. Went to add a quart and saw that the right underside of my hood was covered in oil, the entire right side of the engine bay (dci side) was soaked in oil, and there was oil dripping down the right side of my front bumper along with the puddle running down my driveway. Before I noticed all of this, the car had been in the driveway for about 10 min. Anyone ever see this? Could it be a hose? broken seal? Not even sure what to do at this point. Might have to get it towed to the shop

Post some pictures of the engine bay. Check the oil cooler lines from the distribution block at the oil filter-- these run along the radiator support on the passenger side of the car and follow down behind the wheel well to the oil cooler. You might have a punctured line.
