My oil filter busted

jacob, the ticking noise could have been your lifters since you did not get enough oil to them. As for your oil filter leaking, that is very unusual. Could have been a bad filter (doubtful) or some more sinister issues like a bad engine. Change your oil, and your filter before you even try to attempt anything like starting your engine etc.

I had the same problem, it literally drained my oil in a matter of minutes, turns out that where the oil filter screws to the bracket that's bolted to the engine that 2 oil lines run out and to the radiator for cooling, between that bracket and the engine there is a rubber o ring to keep it from leaking, mine was so old that it developed a crack in it, so I bought a universal O ring kit for it and installed it in just minutes, I couldn't believe that, that tiny crack let out all that oil, here I thought my engine was wasted for good this time. I owe a dept of gratitude to the parts man who diagnosed it. Of course I bought it from them, that was b 4 I new anything about this app, now I'd get whatever I need from Ifixit if they happen to have what I need that is. P S I hope this helps you, good luck.
