Sounds like its not a small leak if it is literally spraying all over under your hood. Kinda hard to diag an oil leak without seeing it. i would say to steam off your entire engine and let it run for a while and watch for oil seeping out from somewhere. They also make dye you can add to your oil that shows up really well with a blacklight that might help also.
