YES! As someone who's lived her whole life in the northern part of BC, Canada, I can tell you for sure that my car's oil will freeze if I do not keep it warm by plugging my car into an electrical outlet at night. When it gets as cold as it gets here, cars require more maintainance for winter than in other places; all-seasons tires don't cut it for winters up here, either; they weren't made to handle the kind of cold I face. A special fluid to help keep my oil from freezing helps, and strong antifreeze.
But in summary, yes. Oil will freeze if it gets cold enough.

Not sure if it is the same as the 2000 model, but if it is the engine freeze plugs are located under neath the engine. You can find them by getting under your car, and looking directly above the oil pan. They should be located on the engine block around this area.

What would cause oil to leak out of engine but not out of car?
An oil leak is always going to be out of the engine as the engine contains oil and the car does not. I think you are saying you are loosing oil with no apparent leak. If that is the case the engine is burning oil and that is why you see no leaks.
