I restart it and barely get it home. No signs of leaking oil. It's a 1998, and I only have 22,000 miles on it and it gets driven 2x a week. Man, I'm pissed. No signs of any problems prior to this and just had the 15,000 done 8 months ago.
What is the build date of your car? It's located underneath your driver door.

Don't want to scare you but with that kind of mileage and the year of your car you could have a slipped sleeve=bye bye engine.

Good Luck!
