Default Oil Leak

Well it happened, right before my HPDC tomorrow.

I drove the car to work today to make sure that everything will be ok for tomorrow. No leaks, no strange noises, no nothing. Since I have owned it the car has never leaked one drop until today. On my way back from lunch it was smoking and within 1 minute of sitting in the spot there was a puddle of oil on the ground. This morning the oil level meter seemed low even once it warmed up but the pressure was fine and the dip stick looked low.

I am trying to get in touch with ASG as they are in between my office and home to see if I can have them put it up on a lift and look at it.

My question is, should I even drive it to them or just play it safe and call a flat bed?

I am trying to see if it is just something easy (hopefully due to the suddenness of the situation) but probably isn't (due to the quantity of oil spilled).

I guess HPDC is out for me tomorrow.

Advice is appreciated.
