If you've no ramps to drive it up on and guessing no real car knowledge -

get a gallon of oil, funnel and drive it to your close-by instant oil change business.
stop and check oil level every maybe 2 or 3 miles on way there.
buy an oil change there, I guess, ask them to ID this big leak source.

all told - going to cost you ~$50 to ID the leak this way. luck

Exactly what year and engine is this....it says 1988 but then it also says vtec.

Anyway, as stated you are going to need to find the area of the leak. Then let us know that and we can help with "what and how" to fix it.
