Major Oil Leak-Looking for mini mechanic

I've got a major oil slick on my garage floor. My mc '03 lost about a quart of oil over the week with it just sitting there. I think a seal or something has cracked. It's coming from the driver's side and it has something to do with the below zero temps. When starting her up on a -5 day the oil pressure light came on then once I gave her some gas it went away. After that I noticed the leak and have not been driving! I'm going through withdrawals...

My extended warranty expired end of sept/06. So I will need to have her towed--I don't trash the engine plus now my battery is dead!

Wondering if anyone knows of a decent Mini Mechanic near Oak Park or in the city. I'm a poor pastry student so I'm trying to be economical but if Bill Jacobs is my only option I'll get her out there with AAA.

Thanks for your help!
