Signs of Potential Engine Failure?

Hello. my apologies for not posting with detailed tech vocabulary. Here goes. Car started sputtering at low rpm after couple trips back and forth to work (20 miles each way). On one pm heading to grocery store, drove out of neighborhood and it stopped running. pulled over. restarted. turned around back to house. stopped running again. restarted got back to house but engine started making this noise:

and dripped oil from street, driveway and onto garage floor


Oil drip appears to drip from passenger side cylinder head but photo shows equal amount at both sides. Appreciate feedback. Thank you
