Large Oil Leak

For starters I have a 1996 900s 5-speed with 220,000 miles.
I was checking the fluids today and noticed that there was no oil...very odd as I have never had to add a drop between changes. I filled up the crankcase, only to find it all over the driveway just after start-up. Upon further ivestigation, there is a steady stream of oil coming out from behind the crankshaft pulley, down the engine block and onto the side of the oil pain (at first I noticed the oil pan and thought the gasket was gone). Although there is oil over most of that side of the engine block, there is nothing visibly leaking above the crankshaft pulley.
What is potentially going on? Where do I start? Is there packing on the backside of the pulley that is gone? Is the engine gone????
Thanks,
Dave
