Before you pay to have it towed, look for an oil line that has failed.
This sounds like a high pressure pump out, usually this is caused by a
failed oil line, oil cooler, improperly installed filter, etc.,
something directly connected to the pressurized oil from the pump.

You may pay more for the tow than the fix!
