Default Engine seized up???

02 civic 1.7
Car was on idle for 10m then from nowhere the engine made a grinding sound I thought I put it on gear by accident and stalled, but it wasn’t the case, I tried to started it and it was making grinding sounds, then I went to look under the car bc I heard some leaking going on and the oil came out, all of it, not sure from where yet, I put some oil and the car don’t start just grinding noises hope somebody can help me

Try and turn it over by hand, that'll tell you if it's seized.

Oil on the coil towers is from the bad valve cover gasket . , Where is the oil leaking from ? If it ran dry on oil till it stopped then it's probably toast at that age and milage
