Freelander td4 gs 2003

Hello I'm new to the forum I've just recently purchased a freelander td4 gs. Now I seem to have some form of oil leak, I woke up this morning check the oil stupidly didn't put dipstick back properly drove it and then pulled up back at home got out and seen oil underneath so popped bonnet realised dipstick wasn't in properly engine covered in oil... anyways so I've washed most the oil off that I can I've scrubbed the floor to get it away and I've put 1 litre back in the engine oil as it was just below minimum I've then waited about 20mins went back and level is the same and there is a little line of oil under the jeep so I'm thinking as I'm pouting it in its coming out?I have no idea what I'm doing but I need the cheapest but most effective fix as I don't plan to have the vehicle after Feb but I don't want to be buying oil every week either and upsetting my neighbours can anyone help... is there any filers or easy seals I can check first and go from there ? What's the worst it could be ? Sump? Thankyou for anyone help
