Kia Spectra Burning rubber Problem

2004 Kia Spectra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 66000 miles. I was driving my car and I thought I smelled burning rubber. When I stopped to see what the problem might be I noticed a fairly good sized puddle of oil under my car and could see it dripping off the oil pan I believe. What are all the possible reasons that a good amount of oil would have leaked out in such a short period of time?

Check that the oil filter is tight and the oil pressure switch is not leaking.
