Total Oil loss.

hi all,
well, nice day today, decided to take the car for a spin, got to a friends house fine, coming home, got within a few miles, Out of the corner of my eye i notice a red light on the dash come on, so took the car out of gear turned off the ignition and free wheeled to a stop on a quiet road etc, got out the car to find oil all up the the whole length of the car, and underneath which quickly covered the road!
Had to call out the break down service to get a tow home, havent looked at it yet, but it seem like the front oil cooler has failed, anyone else had this issue ??? if so any help on what could have caused this, and what the repocusions might be as far as the engine etc, it still turns over fine by hand, and i switched it off as soon as i saw the light come on, but i am aprehensive to say the least.
Car is a 3.2 carrera.
Anthony.
