always had oil in it I had my oil changed its been about a good mom and I
haven't changed it so from the original time and all of a sudden its leaking
oil like crazy it will not hold it so when I started my car instead of making a
ticking sound but kept going and all of a sudden it just died off but it still
starts

Don't drive it until the oil leak is fixed, you will ruin the engine if you do. Don't even start it unless it has oil in it, continuing to do so may have already damaged the engine. Without knowing where the oil leak is coming from it is hard to tell you much else.
