Celica broke down, need help!, I'm left stranded. Options

Hey guys, some of you from SoCal know that im on a road trip with my friends i took to the meet. Well my friend was driving my car at around 3:30am and suddenly my oil light came on and then my check engine light. We pulled over to the side of the road and saw there was oil dripping from under my car. It looks to be coming from somewhere under the timing gear cover, but im not sure. We were towed to a town that is about 20miles north of Kettleman City CA. It cost us $200 already, and we don't exactly have a lot of money. There is only one mechanic in town at Mobile gas station and he doesn't work until 9am. Right now were using the internet at a motel 6. There are only about 6 places in this town and were stuck here until my Celica gets fixed. We heading towards San Bruno, and were about 100 miles away from it i believe. We have been driving since 11:30pm last night. Is there anyone near by that could help us out in any way at all? We're kind of low on choices right now since I'm about 5 hours away from home.

how low was the oil? if the light came on while driving, thats no good. in my st, the light came on, and a mile later it threw a rob, still ran though. made the 20 miles to a store so i could put oil in it and then made the other 30 home on 3 cyl
