cant be fixed! Your only 4 hours away. I can come over and tow it out of your driveway for free. Course I will also need the title. Since your a forum member, I wont charge you for getting rid of your car. 
Just kidding, advice already given from others folks is good advice.

....... Yes , They do ... you will still need to look for one that has the seal as close to the outer perimeter as possible ... try a Wix or Napa Gold ......

I really wish I knew how this happened probably before I bought the car.
After changing oil and filter the first time after I bought the car, I noticed some smoking I thought probably just blow by.
Later I noticed a few spots on the ground where I park. I had someone look it over I knew it was somewhere around the oil filter but I couldnt tell exactly where.
He tracked it down, and told me it was a `chunk` out there. I thought he was exaggerating. If you put the oil filter on real tight to smash the seal out it doesnt drip but will still smoke off the exhaust from under the car.
This is why I do everything I can myself and watch like a hawk whenever I have someone else do things on my cars.

I had a car some years ago that the filter just collapsed when trying to get it off with the oil wrench and I basically had to break it up in pieces to get it out.
