Puddle of what on the ground? Oil, I presume.....if so, find where it is leaking from and go from there.

If you truly ran it out of oil, you may have serious internal issues causing the squeal.

Use a degreaser like BigOrange or SimpleGreen to clean it up and then see if you can find the point of origin.

Leaky valve covers? Front or rear main seal?

Sounds like something gave out. Oil filter loose, or came off. Valve covers, engine seals usualy leak slowly. Did you have slow leaks prior?
