I know you can probably find an owner's manual on eBay, but it will delay the ability to fix it or find out what it is quickly. Unfortunately my car's up at work so I can't pull my owner's manual out to tell you what weight of oil it recommends. It's either 10w30 or 5w30.

How often did you check your oil level before today? I'm hoping it hadn't been dry or very low for a very long period of time. There is also the possibility that oddly-coincidentally you got a fuel delivery problem today. How was it driving weird? Did your engine sound different than normal, other than the "chugging"? Where is your oil leak (front cover, oil pan, rear main seal, etc)?
