If you have a Universal diesel engine, check out this site hosted by Torresen Marine -- it's a great site if you haven't got the manual for the engine (and you can order that too).

A flashlight and a mirror (on a stick preferably) are invaluable aids when trying to look from spaces only a rabbit could fit in! I would not run the engine at all until you have cleaned all oil thoroughly and refilled the oil to the proper level. After all, if the oil leak is bad enough to make it to the bilge, it's clearly not inside the engine anymore, right?
