What is it doing when you try to crank it over? Can you hear anything from the starter motor?

well, out of my little experience, if your car still cranks over you might be ok- mine wouldnt even turn, and once i got it home, taking off the engine covered told the entire tale- if any bits off alloy or iron come tumbling out, (or a bearing case in my instance) looks like youll just have to find a new engine.

driving round in the wild weather last week had me freaking out, and i saw more than a few cars on the side of the road with the tell tale oil leek underneath...
