yes yes i know i should take it to a mechanic.....im getting a whole new motor instead very shortly.
BUT in the mean time what is a good quick fix to stop oil leakage? What is the best Canadian Tire suppliment for that?

where is it leaking oil from....may be as easy as checking all the bolts..oil pan, head ...but if it is leaking into your antifreeze then the head gaskets are done and i'm not sure how to temp fix that...other than jsut drain all the oil out of the engine and drive it like that....LOL JK.

When you say it leaks out pretty good, does it mean pours out?
It could be your main bearing seal.
Your oil filter may have burst, but highly unlikely - you look like you take good care of the car.
Get under there, wipe everything up clean, and get someone to pour in some oil, check to see which part of the motor it is leaking from. ie: front, rear, left, right, near distributor, etc.
Drain bolt would be easiest to check. Be sure to check above from where it is actually dripping.... sometimes the leak may be somewhere else... oil just accumulating at the lowest spot.
