You would be the best person to judge how much oil your loosing and to know if it is safe in it's present condition since your there in person.

With that said, It seems like it is leaking a lot of oil. You don't want to get caught running it dry.

You can do what JimmyL did for a temporary fix..

Of course it would be a big mess to clean up when you fix it properly.
