Question 1997 Upper engine oil leak engine quit turns over no strain on starter but belt turns

I was driving to my house oil light came on and went off then on and off on my 850 wagon no turbo. I got spooked turned around and tried to make it back to moms. The oil leak was everywhere and engine didnt overheat but oil everywhere on top except oil cap. Starter turns over with no strain,and the outer belt with alternator on other side turns but no start. There was oil all over the valve cover area and distributor and under the the plug wire cover. What the Hell??? Where do I start???
