1- loose bolts somewhere on the motor- usauay the drain bolt-
2- gasket failure from wear and heat or in some cases the installer of the part where the gasket was used unevenly tightend the bolts.
3- oil hose failure- either the hose has crack or split or the hose if connect to a metal fitting came lose
4- your motor is shot because you let your kid take it out on a Friday night and he/she decided to try out drag racing.
Suggest- power wash the engine bay of the vehical -let it dry - put a little oil into but don't over fill it- have a helper start the car and just watch the engine - alternate between the top and bottom of the car and if it starts to leek- watch out for belts and moving parts. Because a finger is a terrible thing to waste.
