Oil leak right hand side cold weather

Hi.

This afternoon, i was going to the hospital to insert a tooth implant. I was a bit late because of low temperatures and ice on the windows.


While driving to the hospital, (a 15 min ride), i noticed after about 10 minutes that i was leaving a massive trail of smoke...

I didnt notice any difference of how the car was behaving, and the temperature was still about halfway between cold and 12 o'clock.


I pulled over and got out.. I checked the tailpipes, and could see that there wherent an unusally amount of smoke coming from the pipes.

I stopped the engine and popped the hood, and a lot of smoke emerged.


As i was in a hurry, i didnt have to much time to check out the symptoms, but i could see oil spill on top of the ac compressor, also some on the panel under the spark plugs..

As you can probably tell, this is on the right side of the engine..



It was cold in the area when this occured, about -10 C, or 15 F...




Does anyone have any tip.?
