My car for a while dripped a little oil every now and then, but now it is absolutely pissing oil to the point where the engine oil pressure light is going off a couple of times a week, and I can actually hear the oil bubbling out after driving.

In looking, it seems to be coming out of the area around the plug for the oil pan. Could the pan be cracked, or the plug leaking?

Hi there,

This sounds like a high pressure oil leak, so I would be checking the oil pressure switch and the oil filter, wash down the engine and inspect, if unsure have a mechanic do this, before you do some expensive damage.
