I had this happen to me on my 6V92. A couple things to check before you tow. Are the fuel filters full of fuel? If not then you have an air leak somewhere in the system that could be the problem. Since this problem started at the same time you noticed an oil leak it is probably the fuel pump which is located on the top fan end centerline of the engine just below the turbo. The pump has two seals, one to keep the fuel in and the other to keep the engine oil out. There is a drain hole in the gap between them which could leak copious amounts of oil if a seal lets go. Another way to verify the fuel pump is the problem is to put a pressure gauge on an unused tap on the secondary filter. When cranking if there is no pressure and the filters are full then the pump has gone bad.

Hope this helps, I'll check this site later today if you have further questions.
